A tractor-trailer incident on Interstate 95 in Fort Pierce led to major traffic disruptions yesterday afternoon, according to reports from both WPBF and CBS12. The crash, involving an overturned tractor-trailer, resulted in the blockage of multiple southbound lanes and is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP).
The incident, which occurred south of the Indrio Road exit, specifically near Mile Marker 137, unfolded around 2:23 p.m., rendering three left lanes impassable and constricting the flow of traffic to just two lanes, as noted by CBS12. WPBF highlighted the rollover's significant impact, with two lanes being blocked by the capsized vehicle.
Traffic advisories were issued soon after, suggesting motorists avoid the area or anticipate potential delays as the FHP worked to manage the scene and clear the obstruction. No immediate information regarding injuries or the specific cause of the rollover has been provided as of yet, and the FHP is continuing its on-site operations.
Those planning to travel along this stretch of I-95 South, in Fort Pierce are encouraged to monitor updates and seek alternative routes to bypass the congested segment of the interstate. As the situation unfolds, further developments will likely be reported by local authorities and news outlets, as indicated in the ongoing coverage from WPBF.
