A multi-vehicle accident involving three cars occurred on I-95 southbound in Florida, resulting in serious injuries and a temporary roadblock.

The crash involved a 2003 Dodge Dakota, a 2023 Dodge Charger, and a 2016 Nissan Maxima, with each vehicle traveling in a different lane on the highway.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the driver of the Dodge Dakota, a 22-year-old male from Titusville, attempted to change lanes from the outside lane to the center lane but lost control of his vehicle. The front left of his vehicle struck the right rear of the Dodge Charger, driven by a 56-year-old female from Oak Hill.

The impact caused the Charger to veer off the roadway into a ditch near the wood line.

Following the initial collision, the Dakota entered the direct path of the Nissan Maxima, driven by a 35-year-old female from Titusville.

The Maxima’s rear left was struck by the Dakota, causing the Dakota to overturn multiple times before coming to a rest on its roof, partially blocking the outside lane and shoulder.

Emergency services were called to the scene. The driver of the Dakota sustained minor injuries and was transported to Parrish Hospital for treatment. The driver of the Charger suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to Holmes Regional Hospital, where she is reported to be in stable condition.

The driver of the Maxima and her female child passenger, both of whom sustained minor injuries, transported themselves to the hospital.

Authorities managed to clear the roadblock, and the crash is still under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.

Motorists are urged to exercise caution and remain attentive when changing lanes on the highway to prevent similar accidents in the future.
