Jacksonville, FL
A multi-car crash on I-95 has created a traffic nightmare during the evening rush hour, extending significant delays for commuters on the southbound lanes between MLK Parkway and Eighth Street. While the situation is gradually improving, the backup has affected motorists far north of the crash site.
The incident was first reported by CBS 47 Fox 30 Action News, and their First Alert Storm Tracker was on the scene to provide real-time updates. The wreck, involving several vehicles, caused substantial delays as traffic cautiously navigated around the crash site.
The crash resulted in the closure of multiple lanes, leading to extensive delays that reached approximately 90 minutes, stretching all the way back to Zoo Parkway. Although authorities have begun to open up more lanes, the traffic disruption has been significant.
For commuters seeking alternate routes, it is essential to note that I-95 was not the only route impacted. A crash on I-95 South complicated the situation further. As a result, those caught in the traffic snarl were advised to exit I-95 South at Zoo Parkway, proceed eastbound to 17 Main Street, and then continue south through downtown to avoid the congestion.
The crash on I-95 has left several individuals injured, with Action News Jax reaching out to ascertain the extent of their injuries and the circumstances surrounding the incident.
While the situation is gradually improving on the southbound lanes of I-95, the crash serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety and vigilance, particularly during peak traffic hours. Commuters are urged to exercise caution and patience on the road, especially in adverse conditions or in the aftermath of accidents.
