DAVIE — An accident involving two semi trucks in the southbound lanes of Interstate 75 and a fatality that may have involved a pedestrian in the northbound lanes has closed the roadway in both directions between Griffin Road and Sheridan Street.
The accident happened shortly after 6 a.m. when two trucks collided on southbound I-75 south of Griffin Road, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The accident left debris from the trucks scattered across the roadway. One of the 18-wheelers is sitting along the right shoulder of I-75 while the second one careened into the highway's median.
Additionally, a person was struck and near the accident scene, but in the northbound lanes, according to FHP.
Whether that person was involved in the initial accident wasn't immediately known.
Motorists are being diverted away from I-75 at the Sheridan Street and Griffin Road exits.
Motorists seeking alternate routes can use Flamingo Road or U.S. 27.
Delays are expected to persist throughout the morning.
