Traffic alert: Crash shuts down part of I-95 on a busy Ultra weekend

Getting into Miami on Saturday evening will be a tougher task for Ultra fans and others heading out for the weekend: Four lanes on southbound Interstate 95 have been closed following a crash.

The crash was reported around 4:45 p.m in the southbound express lanes near State Road 112, Florida 511 reported. By 5:25 p.m., Road Rangers closed off every lane as Florida Highway Patrol troopers worked the scene.

About 20 minutes later, authorities used the emergency shoulder and one express lane to allow a slow stream of cars to get through. Traffic cameras showed traffic was already reaching gridlock.

It’s unclear how many vehicles were involved or how the crash occured. FHP did not immediatly provide information.

This is a developing story.
