BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — A major accident is causing traffic havoc in West Boca this evening.

Southbound traffic being detoured northbound back to Clint Moore — creating a huge backup as drivers attempt to divert onto Lyons, only to find too many cars and not enough road.
Other feeder roads are jammed as well.
