The Florida Turnpike was closed northbound at Jog Road in Palm Beach County early Monday after an overnight crash, and the road was still shut at 5:45 a.m. BocaNewsNow.com reported that the crash was first called in at 2:11 a.m. The Florida Highway Patrol was on scene within minutes and closed the road.
The outlet said it was unclear why the lanes remained closed that morning. The crash was not reported to be fatal.
Drivers heading north toward Palm Beach International Airport, which the source refers to as PBI/DJT, and points farther north may face delays. Backups were growing as the morning commute began. The closure does not affect traffic in south Palm Beach County, and southbound lanes were not affected.
Commuters who use the Turnpike near Jog Road should plan for longer trips until the northbound lanes reopen.
