MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. — A severe multi-vehicle crash on Florida's Turnpike southbound in Martin County created substantial traffic delays on Friday afternoon.
The crash occurred just before noon at mile marker 123 near Hobe Sound.
The Martin County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) says that at least two semi trucks and multiple other vehicles were involved. They tell WPTV that because of weather, traffic was stopped, and then a semi truck ran into the stopped traffic, causing the crash.
One semi truck flipped over. One person sustained a minor injury.
The crash has caused delays stretching for miles into southern St. Lucie County.
At about 2 p.m., traffic cameras showed that both lanes had reopened. However, traffic was still slow in the area.
Drivers should also be aware that there are also significant slowdowns in the northbound lanes near the site of the crash.
FHP said there were no life-threatening injuries.
