UPDATE:
FHP says there were five separate crashes, 4 on the northbound side involving 11 vehicles with one person killed. There was one crash on the southbound side that involved 6 vehicles: 4 tractor-trailers, an SUV and a van. One truck driver was killed. The driver of the SUV is also dead.
Several have been taken to the hospital including a child. FHP says the child is in stable condition.
“We have I-95 shut down from SR-44 in Volusia County to SR-5 in Brevard County. We do expect those closures to remain in place throughout the day, possible into early evening,” Lt. Kim Montes said.
The best way to avoid it is to take US-1 or avoid I-95 altogether.
FHP says they are looking over dash cam to determine how the chain reaction started, but say visibility due to thick fog and smoke may have played a role.
Just before 2am on Thursday, March 3rd, Volusia County Sheriffs and Fire Department along with FHP and Brevard County Sheriffs office responded to a vehicle crash on 95 at the 244 mile marker, the Indian River Blvd exit.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol there are three separate crashes in the area, including semi-trucks.
Motorists planning to travel the area from Mile Marker 249 (State Road 44) to Mile Marker 231 (State Road-5A) will need to seek alternate routes for their morning commute.
