A car fire shut down the main lanes of southbound Interstate 95 in North Broward
Drivers out of Palm Beach County or North Broward County taking Interstate 95 to get south from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. either got stuck or found another route as a car fire had traffic in I-95 south’s main lanes detoured off at the Southwest 10th Street exit.
Florida Highway Patrol says a Porsche in a car carrier caught on fire. There weren’t any injuries, but the lanes were kept blocked until fire fighters made sure all the hot spots were handled.
Aside from the I-95 express lanes, the Florida Turnpike and U.S. 1/Federal Highway also worked for getting south.
