74-Year-Old Harford County Man Killed in Rollover on Highway Ramp

Part of I-83 in Baltimore County was closed for six hours after the crash.

A Harford County man was killed this week when his tractor trailer went off the road near Hunt Valley.

William Behrens, 74, was on the ramp from Shawan Road to Interstate 83 south when when his tractor trailer veered off the left side of the road and overturned after 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, WBAL reported.

Behrens' most recent address was in the 2500 block of Ridgeview Drive in Forest Hill, according to online court records.

As a result of the crash, a hazardous materials team was called in to assist with cleanup, Fox 45 reported.

The ramp was closed for six hours, according to WJZ, which said it was not clear whether snow was a factor.

Police were considering the possibility that falling snow may have contributed but were still investigating, The Baltimore Sun reported.

Officials asked anyone with information or who witnessed the crash to call Maryland State Police at 410-780-2700.
