Martin County, FL (May 21, 2025) – A serious crash on Interstate 95 South is causing major traffic disruptions near Palm City on Wednesday afternoon. The collision occurred just past Exit 102 at High Meadows Avenue around 2:00 p.m., according to the Florida 511 system.
Emergency responders, including a Road Ranger unit, arrived on scene to manage traffic and provide assistance. At least two left lanes of I-95 South remain blocked as of the most recent update at 2:47 p.m. This blockage has led to significant delays and heavy congestion through the area, with traffic cameras showing extensive bumper-to-bumper conditions stretching several miles.
Although the total number of vehicles involved has not yet been confirmed, the severity of the lane closure and the presence of emergency services indicate that injuries were sustained. First responders remain on scene, treating those injured and managing the crash site to prevent further incidents.
Drivers are urged to move over or slow down for safety as recovery efforts continue. Law enforcement is conducting an active investigation into the cause of the crash and working to clear the roadway as efficiently as possible.
Our thoughts are with those affected by the collision, and we wish all injured parties a full and timely recovery.
Major Highway Crashes in Florida
Crashes on I-95, one of Florida’s busiest and most critical highways, often lead to significant delays and heightened risk for secondary collisions. The area near Palm City, just past Exit 102, is a particularly active corridor where high-speed traffic and merging lanes frequently lead to serious accidents.
The current crash, which has blocked two key southbound lanes during afternoon travel hours, reflects the kind of disruption that highway incidents can create. Congestion like this not only impacts travel times but also increases the risk for follow-up incidents, especially when drivers fail to reduce speed or change lanes for emergency vehicles.
Florida’s “Move Over” law requires drivers to shift away from emergency responders and Road Ranger units working on or near roadways. Adherence to this law is vital to protect both first responders and victims as scenes are secured and cleared.
For those involved in serious interstate crashes, the aftermath can be both physically and emotionally overwhelming. Injury care, property damage, and legal complexities often require immediate attention and support.
