Maryland tow truck driver Osama Abdelfattah Marey, 31, of Suitland was pronounced dead at the scene of a chain-reaction crash on I-95 North at Powder Mill Road in Prince George's County around 12:10 p.m. on August 31, 2023, where he had stopped to assist a disabled vehicle, according to WTOP. A sideswipe started the sequence; a tractor-trailer ended it.
Operator takeaway
Chain-reaction crashes hide the killer truck in the middle of the sequence. Maintain a buffer zone behind the disabled vehicle large enough that a sideswipe of the disabled car does not reach your driver.
