Two of the injured motorcyclists were taken by helicopter to nearby hospitals, while the other three were transported by ambulance. The helicopter landing led to major traffic congestion on the southbound side of I-495.
The motorcycle crash victims‘ names were not released and the extent of their injuries were unknown.
