Interstate 95, FL (August 5, 2018) – This morning on Interstate 95, a fatal two-vehicle crash took place that shut down multiple northbound lanes for several hours. The accident involved two vehicles and happened around 6:30 a.m. just south of Commercial Boulevard.
The Florida Highway Patrol was called to investigate the scene. A man’s body was discovered near the shoulder of the highway and was partially covered by a yellow tarp for at least two hours after the accident.
Two lanes remained closed around 10:30 a.m. while patrol officers continued their investigation. The man’s identity has not been released as officers wait until the next of kin has been notified.
At this time, the investigation is ongoing.
