Serious multi-vehicle crash shuts down SR-417 in Orlando

SO BUSY THIS MORNING. LET’S GET RIGHT TO YOU. YEAH. I CAN’T REMEMBER THE LAST DAY I WAS THIS BUSY. AND THE TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT. THERE’S A MAJOR CRASH ALONG THE 417. IT HAS ALL THOSE NORTHBOUND LANES SHUT DOWN HERE. THIS IS NORTH OF COLONIAL DRIVE. YOU CAN SEE TRAFFIC HERE INTERMITTENTLY GETTING BY ON THAT RIGHT SHOULDER. THIS IS NOT RELATED TO ANY OF THOSE STORMS FROM OVERNIGHT. YOU CAN SEE ALSO A HUGE SPILL HERE. SO THIS IS GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME TO CLEAR. TRAFFIC IS VERY BACKED UP ALONG THE 417 TRAVELING NORTHBOUND. I DO WANT TO GIVE YOU A LOOK AT THE MAP. IF YOU’RE TRAVELING IN THIS AREA. THIS BACKED UP PAST THE 408 AND IT IS DELAYED UNTIL YOU GET TO ABOUT UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD. SO I WOULD USE SEMORAN AS THE DETOUR FOR THAT MORNING DRIVE. WE ALSO HAD AN EARLIER CRASH ALONG I-4 WESTBOUND LANES STILL HEAVILY CONGESTED, TRAVELING PAST LEE ROAD, HEADING TOWARDS FAIRBANKS AND DOWNTOWN ORLANDO. SO THE DETOUR HERE IS GOING TO BE THOSE EXPRESS LANES. OF COURSE, YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY THE TOLL, AND IT WAS SURGED BECAUSE OF THAT CRASH. BUT IN MY OPINION, IT’S DEFINITELY WORTH IT TO AVOID ALL THE BACKUPS HERE. TRAVELING INTO DOWNTOWN ORLANDO. LOOKING HERE, YOU CAN SEE THAT CRASH IT IS WORKING TO CLEAR, BUT WE ALSO HAVE SOME FLOODING FROM OVERNIGHT. THIS IS STATE ROAD 46. MOST OF THE CLOSURES ARE REPORTED IN LAKE COUNTY THIS MORNING, SO WESTBOUND LANES ARE SHUT DOWN IN MOUNT DORA. YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO USE 44 AS A DETOUR IF YOU’RE TRAVELING FROM SORRENTO TOWARDS MOUNT DORA. WE’LL HAVE THE CLOSURES THERE ON WESH.COM, AS WELL AS IN BREVARD COUNTY OVER ON OUR WEBSITE. JUST A LOT TO GET TO THIS MORNING. LOOKING AT THOSE TRAVEL TIMES, YOU CAN SEE HUGE BACKUPS THERE ALONG THE 417 NORTHBOUND FROM THE 408 TO UNIVERSITY. BECAUSE OF THAT SHUTDOWN. WE’RE AT 45 MINUT
