<\/p>\nMajor crash shuts down part of Florida’s Turnpike southbound in Osceola County<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBREAKING NEWS. THAT BREAKING NEWS OUT OF OSCEOLA COUNTY, WHERE A CRASH HAS SNARLED TRAFFIC ON THE TURNPIKE. AND WE HIT THE BUSY THANKSGIVING STRETCH. GOOD AFTERNOON. I\u2019M ALAN CAMPBELL, AND I\u2019M NANCY ALVAREZ. THIS IS ALL HAPPENING IN THE SOUTHBOUND LANES JUST PAST OSCEOLA PARKWAY. OUR TRAFFIC EXPERT MEAGHAN MACKEY LIVE IN CHOPPER TWO AND MEAGHAN FIRST RESPONDERS ON THE SCENE THERE. WHAT A TERRIBLE WAY TO START THE LONG WEEKEND FOR ANYONE WHO MAY BE HEADING OUT RIGHT NOW. YEAH, AND UNFORTUNATELY, NANCY AND ALAN, WE SEE THIS EVERY YEAR ON THE DAY LEADING UP TO THANKSGIVING. LAST YEAR, THERE WAS A SHUTDOWN ON I-4, AND JUST NOW THE TURNPIKE WAS SHUT DOWN HERE IN KISSIMMEE. I WANT TO GIVE YOU A LIVE LOOK AT THIS CRASH. IT IS LOOKING LIKE A GNARLY ONE. IT LOOKS LIKE AT LEAST TWO VEHICLES INVOLVED HERE. NOW, FHP HAS REOPENED THE TWO RIGHT LANES MOST RECENTLY, BUT YOU CAN SEE TWO OF THE LEFT LANES ARE BLOCKED THERE. AND ONE OF THOSE CARS IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED. AND THERE WERE SOME INJURIES REPORTED HERE, ACCORDING TO FHP. SO WE\u2019RE STILL WORKING TO LEARN THE EXACT EVENTS THAT LED UP TO THIS CRASH. BUT ACCORDING TO THEM, THERE WERE SOME INJURIES AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE STILL WORKING TO CLEAR THAT IN THAT LEFT SHOULDER AND BLOCKING OFF TWO OF THOSE LANES. AGAIN, THIS IS ALONG FLORIDA\u2019S TURNPIKE, TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND THROUGH KISSIMMEE. SO JUST AFTER THAT 417 INTERCHANGE, LOOK AT THOSE BACKUPS THOUGH. THIS IS WHAT THOSE DRIVERS ARE DEALING WITH. AND THE BUSY TRAVEL PERIOD FOR THANKSGIVING TODAY JUST STARTED AND OFFICIALLY KICKED OFF, ACCORDING TO TRIPLE A AT 11:00 THIS MORNING. SO WITHIN THE LAST HOUR AND BOOM, JUST LIKE THAT, WE HAD A SHUTDOWN ON THE TURNPIKE. SO WE\u2019RE REALLY HOPING WE DON\u2019T SEE CRASHES LIKE THIS MORE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WITH AN UPTICK OF DRIVERS ON OUR ROADWAYS, THIS IS JUST THE REALITY. SO UNTIL ABOUT EIGHT, 9:00 TONIGHT, THE ROADS ARE GOING TO BE PARTICULARLY BUSY WITH DRIVERS. TOMORROW SHOULD BE LESS BUSY. BUT FRIDAY BETWEEN 1 P.M. AND 7 P.M., WE\u2019RE ALSO GOING TO SEE A LOT OF CONGESTION. SO THE OVERALL MESSAGE IS WHETHER YOU\u2019RE DRIVING OUT TO RUN SOME LAST MINUTE ERRANDS, GET SOME GROCERIES, OR IF YOU\u2019RE TRAVELING TO GO SEE FAMILY TODAY, MAKE SURE YOU USE PATIENCE. BE OFF YOUR PHONE AND JUST BE MINDFUL OF OTHER DRIVERS AROUND YOU. WE\u2019LL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THIS CRASH THROUGHOUT THE HOUR, BUT FOR NOW, TRAFFIC IS GETTING BY, SO NO NEED FOR A DETOUR.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
