Two people are dead and dozens are injured after a pileup early Saturday morning on Interstate 95 in Baltimore, and a third person was killed in a separate crash. The Maryland Transportation Authority said a driver got out of their car after a multi-vehicle crash on northbound I-95 at Eastern Avenue around 4:45 a.m. He got out of his car and fell from the elevated roadway when he tried to avoid being hit by a car. Then, at about 5 a.m., a gas tanker truck overturned and fell off the elevated portion of I-95 in downtown Baltimore near the Washington Boulevard exit. The tanker went over the jersey wall and burst into flames, sending debris back up onto the highway, MDTA police said. There were as many as 67 vehicles involved in a pileup on northbound I-95 between Caton Avenue and Washington Boulevard. The driver of the tanker and a driver involved in the pileup were killed. Tap here to see photos from SkyTeam 11 Marvellous Amasiatu sent video to 11 News of the tanker crash. He recounted what he saw: "When I saw the truck coming, they were coming about 50-55 mph when they slammed on the brakes, they are still going the same speed. That's when he went over, and there was already flames before he hit the ground. That was about a 100-foot drop." Amasiatu, a nurse, said he wishes he could have done something to help. "I would have loved to help, but I was, I couldn't help by that time. Just shoot video and that was a painful part of it," Amasiatu said. "About 60-some cars I saw go by at 55 mph, slamming into each other. I've never seen such a thing before." Motorists reported hearing loud bangs and booms as vehicles slammed into each other and walls. "It was like something in a movie because, you know, you just see cars sliding everywhere -- boom, boom -- sliding into the walls and stuff like that. It was real scary," said a driver, Shawnte Surles, who was involved in the pileup. The MDTA reopened the southbound lanes of I-95 around 1:30 p.m. Northbound traffic eventually got by the scene on the exit ramp for Caton Avenue. The far right lane was reopened around 6:30 p.m., and two right lanes were reopened around 9 p.m., then all lanes were reopened around 10:20 p.m. The University of Maryland Medical Center said Saturday it was caring for as many as 23 patients from the pileup. Sixteen were being treated at UMMC's Emergency Department for a range of injuries including broken bones, cuts and bruises and lacerations. One of those patients was transferred to Shock Trauma, where seven patients were already being treated. As of Sunday, no more patients were being treated at the Emergency Department. UMMC announced Sunday that one of the Shock Trauma patients was discharged, leaving seven patients being treated there -- two in critical condition, two in serious condition and three in fair condition. A hotline has been opened for those looking for information about family that may have been involved in the pileup: 888-756-7836. MDTA police are asking any drivers, passengers or other people involved in the pileup to call them at 410-537-1208. MDTA police are trying to pair up the drivers and passengers with the vehicles involved. Police need the following information: vehicle they were operating, passengers in the vehicle and contact information. Several crashes closed roadways statewide amid icy conditions early Saturday morning. Road closures during the early-morning hours included, but were not limited to: Northbound I-95 at Caton AvenueSouthbound I-95 near I-395Westbound U.S. Route 50 at Route 610Both directions of Route 90 in Ocean CityI-695 near the Key Bridge, I-695 at I-97Westbound Route 32 at Route 3Route 100 closed at Route 170 Rescue teams worked feverishly to attend to victims, but some motorists became stranded in their vehicles for hours, trying to conserve fuel, while sheltering in place to stay warm. 00:00 06:02 Gov. Larry Hogan released a statement, saying, "I strongly urge all Marylanders to use common sense and put their safety first by heeding all travel warnings from state and local authorities. Road conditions in many areas of the state are still extremely dangerous, and all those who can avoid travel should stay off the roads until conditions have improved." "The first lady and I send our deepest condolences and prayers to the families and loved ones of the individuals who lost their lives early this morning as a result of fatal accidents." 00:00 00:24 Baltimore County emergency officials said dozens of vehicles collided on the Beltway in the Rosedale area. Maryland State Police said 15 vehicles were involved in a chain-reaction crash at about 5:30 a.m. on the Inner Loop of I-695 at Route 702. Troopers reported that drivers began losing control due to black ice in the area. Several people were taken to hospitals, although no injuries were reported to be serious. By the early afternoon, the Maryland State Police responded to 330 crashes across the state in the past 24 hours. Baltimore City police had received more than 200 calls for crashes. The SHA's CHART crews have responded to 244 disabled and incident events. WBAL-TV 11 News reporter Omar Jimenez reported area hospitals, including Shock Trauma, mobilized specialized units to respond to incidents. SHA spokesman Charlie Gischler told 11 News at 8:30 a.m. that pavement temperatures remained below freezing, and residents should delay travel, if possible. He reported several backups and that road crews were stuck in the same traffic tie-ups. An icy start to the last weekend of fall. Warmer tonight and early Sunday, maybe near 60° before the next cold front arrives mid-morning.— Tom Tasselmyer (@ttasselWBAL) December 17, 2016 A Winter Weather Advisory for snow, sleet and freezing rain that was extended to the afternoon has expired.

FRIGID COLD TEMPERATURES Baltimore City health officials had declared a Code Blue as temperatures dipped below freezing as the week ended. The city has already recorded its first exposure-related death of the season after a homeless man was found dead not far from City Hall over the weekend. "I want to remind everyone that the cold weather can be just as dangerous as hot weather. Last year, in Baltimore, three of our residents died from hypothermia, which is extreme low-body temperature," Baltimore City Health Commissioner Dr. Leana Wen said. From a medical standpoint, doctors are most concerned about frostbite and hypothermia. "If people are working outside, that's going to be a particular problem, because then it's the prolonged exposure to the cold that can lead to hypothermia or frostbite," said Dr. Dana Simpler, from Mercy Medical Center. Frostbite can develop in minutes, especially on the extremities. It's the body's survival mechanisms during extremely cold weather to protect the vital inner organs. Most common symptoms include red and tingling skin. "It's not uncommon if you've been out in the cold and you go back inside that, as the extremity warms up, it gets very warm, and this is because the arteries are trying to dilate and get the blood back into circulation," Simpler said. As far as treating frostbite, don't rub or massage cold body parts. Instead, put your hands in your armpits, try holding onto another person or a pet, drink warm liquids and put on extra layers of clothes. Hypothermia occurs when the body temperature sinks below 96 degrees, and it can be deadly. The most important thing to do to prevent it is to wear lots of layers. "One of the most important things for people to do is to layer. You want to put on layers of clothing, and you want to put things on before you leave the house," Simpler said. Wen said that once a Code Blue is declared, the city Health Department undertakes public messaging activities to encourage safety when outdoors. Under Code Blue declarations, city agencies work to: Distribute meals to at-risk senior citizens. Provide home weatherization services. Help individuals apply for emergency assistance. Provide additional cold weather education and outreach efforts, as needed. Throughout the winter season, The Mayor’s Office of Human Services’ Office of Homeless Services also works with city homeless shelter providers to extend shelter hours and to provide expanded bed capacity. Cold Weather Tips for Staying Healthy: Wear multiple layers of loose-fitting clothing. Always wear a head covering, like a hat and/or scarf, when outdoors. Drink plenty of fluids and avoid alcoholic beverages. Protect yourself against falls in icy or snowy conditions. Check on those who are children, the elderly and/or chronically ill. Provide appropriate shelter for domestic animals. Other Tips for Keeping Safe in Cold Weather: Keep space heaters and candles away from flammable materials, such as curtains, furniture and loose clothing. Check your carbon monoxide detector and make sure it’s working. Do not use prohibited heat or power sources, such as stoves or generators. They may cause fire or carbon monoxide poisoning. Do not leave your car running in a closed space such as a garage. Tap here for more cold weather safety tips from the National Weather Service Residents are encouraged to contact 311 if a neighbor is without heat or power so that city agencies can assist them. Energy assistance may be available to those who need it. For more information, individuals may contact one of the regional Community Action Partnership centers in Baltimore or call the Office of Home Energy Programs at 410-396-5555.
