All eastbound lanes of the bypass near State Road 23 have reopened after a crash involving several vehicles.
The crash happened just after 5:30 a.m. Thursday.
Police say there were injuries, but they haven't said how serious the injuries are.
There's no word on if the weather played a role.
While the bypass has cleared, dispatchers tell us there are many crashes across the area. You are urged to drive carefully.
Traffic is crawling at less than 5mph in the EB lanes.
