One person is dead after a crash on Interstate 270 in Montgomery County, Maryland.

The semi-truck jackknifed after the collision, closing some northbound lanes for a few hours.

There’s no word on why the driver of the Ford stopped on I-270.

The name of the driver has not yet been released, pending notification of next of kin.
