One man is dead and three other people are in the hospital Monday morning following a collision between a tractor-trailer and a dump truck on Interstate 95 in Elkridge, according to Maryland State Police.

Police said the dump truck crashed into the back of a parked tractor-trailer between the Harbor Tunnel Thruway, also called Interstate 895, and Maryland Route 100 around 5:30 a.m.

The dump truck’s driver, 47-year-old Lazaro Miranda, of Baltimore, was pronounced dead at the scene. Two passengers in the dump truck were airlifted to the hospital.

The driver of the tractor-trailer was also taken to a hospital.

Police continue to investigate the crash.

At one point, all southbound lanes on I-95 were closed for the investigation. Traffic from Baltimore to D.C. cleared up by the afternoon rush.
