BEL AIR, Md. — A pair of deadly crashes shut traffic down for hours on I-95 north in Harford County Wednesday morning.
The first occurred around 6:45am in Belcamp near Creswell Road (MD Route 543).
Police say 27-year-old Caprice N. Davis, of Elizabeth, New Jersey, drove into the left shoulder striking two tractor-trailers.
The impact caused Davis' Chevy Traverse to rotate back into the roadway, where it was struck by an oncoming truck.
Davis died on scene. No one else was injured.
About two hours later as traffic was still backed up for that crash, a woman driving a Subaru Forrester struck the back of a stopped dump truck near MD Route 24, which is only three exits below the initial crash. She also died on scene. Her name was not released.
