Newsday,
WTOP, and
NBC say it was a box truck.
FOX says it was a tractor-trailer.
Anyway, a 50 year old woman from Florida, Nada Rakovich driving a tractor-trailer, changed lanes hitting a car. They both pulled over to the shoulder.
Nada walks out into the travel lane causing Dorek C. Miles driving the box truck to swerve. He was rear ended by a BFI Waste Management truck that proceeded to tangle with three cars.
Meanwhile Dorek goes over the guardrail, drops about 70 feet then slides to the river, but the cab stays on the bank. He broke both legs but will recover.
Quote:
Rakovich, 50, was charged with walking on a controlled-access highway - which carries a $55 fine - and making an unsafe lane change. She was also charged with driving with a suspended out-of-state license, for which she was arrested and taken before a Howard County District Court commissioner, Moroney said. She posted $2,500 bond, he said.

I'm not going to make one comment about Nada.
