The Florida Highway Patrol is reporting a multiple vehicle crash involving injuries currently shutting down Interstate 4 westbound at Mile Marker 55. This would be near the Hwy 27 exit.
At this time 4:15pm they have all westbound lanes blocked for medical helicopter evacuation.
The accident occurred at approximately 3:50pm and the Polk County Fire Rescue has 3 ambulances and 3 fire trucks currently on scene.
This again is a FHP call and we imagine we won’t get much more details unless it results in a fatality. We will update if more information becomes available.
