BROWARD COUNTY, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Two major crashes on I-95 in Broward County continue to slow and stop traffic as the afternoon rush gets underway. One crash is northbound on I-95 in Deerfield Beach. The other is in the southbound lanes near Hallandale Beach Blvd.
