A crash has left traffic in a gridlock on Interstate 95 — and drivers are so desperate, they’re driving over plastic poles.
The crash shut down the I-95 southbound ramp to Exit 2D I-395 East during Tuesday’s morning rush hour, according to the Florida Department of Transportations Live Camera Database.
Aeiral video taken by WSVN shows traffic backed up for miles.

Traffic cameras recorded drivers going over the plastic poles earlier in the day to get around the crash, which is “in the worst section of 395,” according to Total Traffic Miami.
