Visuals provided by the Total Traffic and Weather Network as well as FDOT cameras show the tractor trailer in the middle of the highway. Traffic is being routed onto 595. It was not immediately clear if traffic was permitted to exit onto east or west 595, or simply one direction to work around the incident.
I-95 northbound is completely closed in Broward County due to a major crash. (TTWN and FDOT).
There were no immediate reports of injuries. Expect I-95 to be closed for several hours. The incident was first reported around 11:15 a.m. Saturday.

Hello Boca News, I immediately saw your report regarding the I -95 north bound this morning. I thought by now one or all of the news agencies would have update with info. I noticed this danger at this exact location northbound, (the north bound lane suddenly ends, which necesitates the drive to make a sharp right to stay in the lane and not end up in the construction zone, side which has no barrier, nor is there any indication of such. I called to Florida Highway patrol on 4 occasions over 6 months ago and latest 3 months ago to make them aware of this issue. I asked them on my last 2 calls to have somebody return my call. No one did. I went as far as to write a reporter for channel 10 tv in Miami about this situation about 2 month ago. (Oct 10, 2023). It was an accident waiting to happen. I believe, and I cannot be sure unless I get a copy of the accident report but from the picture you posted: car vehicle in left lane, swerved quickly to right lane to avoid the construction exit, making the semi brake and turn, to the point it over turned. It will be interesting to actually SEE the exact location of the accident. Then I can verify if it was just after that point which is just north bound lane, just at you approach Davie Blvd.
