FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - Two people, including a state trooper, were transported to the hospital following a crash on Interstate 95.
The crash happened along I-95 in the northbound lanes, near State Road 84, at around 5 a.m., Thursday.
7SkyForce hovered over the scene where the cruiser could be seen significantly damaged in the roadway. The front-end of the cruiser was smashed, including some front passenger damage.
The other vehicle that crashed with the cruiser, a white Tesla SUV, also had significant damage.
Five to six hours after the incident, investigators remained on the scene taking measurements and photos to determine what lanes these cars were traveling in. Investigators are still not sure how the two vehicles collided.
Heavy traffic delays were seen along the interstate due to the crash with three lanes on I-95 being closed for several hours during rush hour traffic.
7News cameras captured the moment when first responders arrived on the scene and transported the state trooper to Broward Health Medical Center.
The trooper and the other person involved in the crash are OK and have since been released from Broward Health Medical Center.
Troopers are still asking people to have some patience on the road today.
“Traffic has been backed up all the way to Pembroke Road and I-95, and we are asking drivers to see if they can avoid the area for the next hour or so to do so because it’s still going to be backed up for the next hour, hour and 30 minutes,” said a FHP Trooper.
“It’s very difficult,” said a driver. “I had to go around and get off 95 and go around, just terrible. It’s just mayhem down here. [It’s] sad, it really is.”
The northbound lanes of I-95 were closed to traffic but have since reopened.
