CATHERINE CALLAWAY, CNN ANCHOR: We want to tell you about a story that we're following this morning in Baltimore County, Maryland, where two 18 wheelers collided. Take a look at this. A terrible accident there on the southbound lane of Interstate 95. This is in the White Marsh area. Apparently the two 18 wheelers collided. It was a fiery crash, as you can tell.

The southbound lane shut down. This happened about 4:30 this morning. Now here's a live picture of the scene. As you can see, southbound completely shut down. A.P. was reporting that one of the lanes was open, but it certainly, according to this live shot we're getting now of the scene, it looks like southbound completely shut down.

CHAD MYERS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: There's just nowhere to put the cars.

CALLAWAY: Yes, nowhere to put anyone, any cars at this moment. It looks like they're going to be there for a while.

MYERS: They're obviously diverting traffic somewhere. I don't know where unless they go to the B.W. Parkway. But obviously clearly that's going to be a mess for a while. And if it was closed since 4:30, oh, that's two and a half hours already some folks are sitting in that backed up. And they're just getting longer and longer and longer and longer. So keep that in mind.
