Avoid WB 595! Before Pine Island, a crash blocking 2 left lanes; delays heavy from Davie Rd. With a fuel tanker involved, police may put a full closure in place. Head west instead along Griffin Rd or Broward Blvd. @wsvn @DaviePolice @TotalTrafficMIA @OfficialJoelF #SFLtraffic pic.twitter.com/DRgpnHASmf
