Overview
- A major crash on the northbound ramp from SR‑408 to Florida's Turnpike forced a full ramp closure early Friday and was cleared after troopers reopened the affected lanes.
- A separate collision near SR‑50 in Winter Garden closed all southbound Turnpike lanes before SR‑50 and left the far‑left southbound lane reopened while the scene remained under management.
- Troopers confirmed people were injured in both crashes and emergency responders worked at the scenes while investigators and tow crews cleared wreckage.
- Officials advised northbound drivers to use Exit 1 to SR‑50 or Good Home Road and directed southbound drivers to exit at Hancock Road as detours were in effect.
- Traffic reporters noted I‑4 travel was largely unaffected during the incidents, and authorities warned the situation is still developing with further updates possible.
