A motorcyclist suffered non-life-threatening injuries after he collided with a car off Route 170 near Amtrak Way on Friday morning, police said.

The accident caused airport officials to reroute buses from the Amtrak station, a spokeswoman for BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport said. But by 10 a.m., roads were reopened and the scene was cleared, said a spokesperson with the Maryland Transportation Authority Police.

Police said the crash happened about 100 yards north of Amtrak Way at about 7:25 a.m. The motorcycle rider was taken by ambulance to Maryland Shock Trauma and the driver of the car was treated at the scene, police said.
