@nbcwashington: Two people are dead after a crash happened on I-81 Thursday night in Frederick County, according to police. A car failed to yield to traffic and was struck by a tractor trailer heading southbound. The tractor-trailer then swerved off the interstate and hit a truck carrying oxygen tanks. The tanks exploded, causing a fire. The drivers of the tractor-trailer and truck passed away, according to police. The driver of the car was not injured. #washingtondc #maryland #virginia #pgcounty #dc

81 is a death trap. Everyone knows it. The entire stretch through VA is a Mad Max movie

Why is it always the person who causes the accident is the one that lives? I guess this is a question. Only God knows the answer to.

Hi Winchester resident here, I avoid 81 literally as much as I possibly can. There’s so many people that don’t know how to drive on that road there’s always a crash or some other bs causing a backup

The sad thing about this area of Virginia is the county just wanna pocket their residents money that’s why every time you go to court they also charge five dollars Work fees or residential fee. Don’t get me started if they’re doing roadwork near a courthouse you get charged for that too.

Sad Well, I'm just trying to figure out. Why didn't the truck driver move over to let the car on 81.
