BROWARD COUNTY, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2024 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Traffic is not moving on I-95 in Broward County following an early morning crash. The crash was first reported around 3:30 a.m. The Interstate was closed a short time later. The crash occurred in the area of Stirling Road and is affecting northbound traffic. We are awaiting official details as of 6:45 but can report that anyone heading northbound to Palm Beach County from South Broward is going to face huge problems Monday morning.
Here’s what the Florida Department of Transportation is reporting as the situation continues to unfold:
