Turnpike crash (FDOT)

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Southbound lanes of Florida’s Turnpike at Interstate 4 reopened Friday morning after an early-morning crash in Orange County.

The crash happened near mile marker 257.

All lanes were shutdown but later reopened after 6:15 a.m. Traffic is still delayed despite lanes being reopened.

The Florida Highway Patrol has the crash listed as a hit-and-run, but no other details were released.

This crash comes days after a semitrailer driver was killed when his rig slammed into the back of another tractor-trailer and caught fire on Florida’s Turnpike in Osceola County, according to troopers.

The fatal three-vehicle wreck caused the Florida’s Turnpike to be closed for hours near Kissimmee.

This is a developing story and will be updated with more information as we receive it.
