A fatal collision involving a white SUV and a motorcycle on Interstate 95 Northbound between Sheridan Street and Stirling Road early this morning has led to a major shutdown of the highway in Hollywood. According to Local 10, the accident prompted the closure of both regular and express lanes just after 6 a.m., with traffic being diverted off of the interstate at Sheridan Street.

Officials have been working to quickly clear the scene, urging drivers to seek alternate routes. The recommended detour for those heading north is to utilize U.S. 1 or the Florida Turnpike. CBS News Miami reported that the congestion extended back to Hallandale Beach Boulevard, as the northbound I-95 lanes remained closed, including the ramp from Stirling Road to I-95 northbound.

Authorities have not yet released details regarding the identity of the victim or the circumstances leading up to the crash. The cause of the accident is currently under investigation, and it's unclear how long the northbound lanes will be closed as crews continue to work on the scene. Drivers should stay informed on the latest traffic updates and heed detour instructions as operations to safely open the roadway continue.
