On Friday,  at approximately 5:44 PM, officers from the Cumberland Police Department and Cumberland Fire Department responded to Interstate 68 Westbound at Exit 43 in reference to a motor vehicle crash.  Upon arrival, police began their investigation and determined that a vehicle, operated by Mark Anthony Sanders, age 48 of Hancock, MD, had struck a tractor-trailer in the rear.  Sanders was found to be at-fault for the collision.  All westbound lanes had to be shut down to traffic for approximately 1 hour until the accident was cleared.  Sanders was transported by ambulance to the Western Maryland Regional Medical Center for treatment of non life-threatening injuries.  Sanders was suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol.  Charges are currently pending.
