I-370 West Closed at 355 2 Exit in Gaithersburg After Serious Collision, Extended Delays Expected

All westbound lanes on I-370 are closed at exit 2 due to an ongoing collision reconstruction investigation. Montgomery County Emergency Management is reporting that this will be an extended closure and to seek alternate route.


The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will be installing permanent, “dynamic speed signs” (DSS) on Brink Road in Gaithersburg to provide real-time speeds to drivers. The campaign is a pilot program under the Montgomery County Vision Zero initiative to eliminate severe injuries and fatalities from traffic-related incidents by 2030. Two signs will face eastbound traffic and two will face westbound.


Shortly before 5AM on December 4, 2005, Maryland State Troopers responded to a crash on the Outer Loop of the Beltway near University Blvd. Troopers arrived and found a three-vehicle chain reaction crash where two people had died. They were: Sandra M. Cornejo, 26, of Silver Spring, and Yanira D. Ramirez, 28, of Silver Spring. Three others were seriously injured.

The driver of one of the vehicles, a 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer, fled from the crash scene on foot. Investigators contacted the registered owner of the vehicle and learned his roommate, identified as David Psina, who was in his 20’s and living in Germantown, had the vehicle without permission and had been drinking prior to driving. Psina also did not have a driver’s license.
