FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WSVN) — Two lanes on Interstate-95 northbound were blocked at Davie Boulevard, Monday, after someone jumped off the overpass.
According to Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue, the jumper, who is a teenage male, sustained several broken bones after he jumped at around 12:30 p.m. He was transported to Broward Health Medical Center as a level two trauma patient.
Florida Highway Patrol closed two lanes at the scene, which in turn caused a major traffic backup.
All lanes have since been reopened.
