A vehicle fire on southbound Interstate 95 in Maryland prompted a traffic alert early Monday, November 9, 2026, near Exit 62 for the I-895 Harbor Tunnel Thruway.

The incident was reported shortly after 3:00 a.m. near Baltimore County, with emergency and highway response activity affecting the southbound roadway. Traffic information indicated that two vehicles were involved and that the right-side lanes and shoulder were restricted.

Two Vehicles Reported Involved

Available Maryland traffic records listed two vehicles as involved in the incident. The fire was recorded on the southbound carriageway at approximately mile marker 62.1, shortly before the I-895 Harbor Tunnel interchange.

The reported restrictions affected two right-hand southbound lanes and one shoulder. This created a potential obstruction for motorists approaching the interchange, particularly those travelling through the Baltimore area.

Emergency Response and Traffic Conditions

A vehicle fire can require emergency crews to secure the scene, control traffic and ensure that any damaged vehicles are safely removed. Motorists passing the location were advised to remain cautious and watch for emergency personnel.

The available information did not establish how the fire started or whether the vehicles collided before the blaze. Those details should not be assumed without confirmation from investigating authorities.

Were There Any Injuries?

No confirmed information available in the traffic reports established whether anyone was injured or taken to hospital. The number of people involved and the extent of any possible injuries had not been publicly established in the information reviewed.

There was also no verified report confirming a fatality. The incident should therefore be described as a vehicle fire and traffic disruption rather than a fatal accident.
