A Baltimore man died in a two-vehicle crash that closed Liberty Road for about three hours Tuesday morning, according to Maryland State Police.

The driver of the dump truck, 26-year-old Mount Airy resident Travis Waddel, was not injured as a result of the crash, but the trailer end of the truck detached in the collision and damaged four sections of guardrail, according to state police.
