Did you know? Paid supporters get a reduced ad experience!

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?

The incident took place shortly before 7:30 a.m. when troopers from the Maryland State Police Hagerstown Barrack responded to a report of a crash near mile marker 11 on eastbound I-70. According to a preliminary investigation, the vehicle involved, a Mazda operated by Yelson Aguilar, 19, of Baltimore, Maryland, veered off the road and overturned in the median. The cause of the accident is currently under investigation.
Aguilar was transported by ambulance to Meritus Medical Center in Hagerstown for treatment of his injuries. A passenger in the vehicle, along with two six-year-old children, sustained more serious injuries. They were flown by Maryland State Police helicopters Trooper 3 and Trooper 5 to MedStar Washington Hospital Center and Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., respectively.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
In response to the crash, I-70 was closed for over an hour to allow authorities to investigate and clear the scene. The Maryland State Police Crash Team is leading the investigation, which remains ongoing.
Anyone with information regarding the crash is encouraged to contact the Maryland State Police Hagerstown Barrack at 301-766-3800.
