Officials have not provided further details about the collision.
Police were eventually able to establish one lane for traffic flow. The causeway has since reopened to traffic.
The crash took place on the same day as an early morning crash along the MacArthur Causeway sent one man to the hospital in critical condition.
Police said a car struck a golf cart along the westbound lanes in Miami, causing the victim to be ejected from the cart.
The westbound part of the causeway remained closed to traffic for nearly 10 hours while police investigated.
As of Sunday evening, both victims are still listed in critical condition.
