Traffic mess in Florida

[JonathanBelles]

The Florida Turnpike is closed between Ft. Pierce and Kissimee for a major pileup and fire near YeaHaw Junction. There are multiple trailer trackers envolved along with other cars. There are at least 5 dead. The cause of the crash may have been the Brushfire burning along the turnpike.

I-75 IS very congested due to an accident at Fletcher Ave. I-4 is also running very slow

Wow, that's pretty nasty. About 3 years ago I was driving up the turnpike and there was a backup at least 2 miles long. I think a tractor trailer slammed into a small coupe... I am sure the occupants of the car were killed.
