Lanes Reopen After Overturned Truck Had Shut Down Turnpike Lanes In Doral

MIAMI (CBSMiami) - All lanes have reopened after an overturned truck had shut down the southbound lanes of the Florida Turnpike on Monday afternoon.

Authorities cited a spill of hazardous materials as the reason for the closure.

It happened after 5:15 p.m. near NW 74th Street in Doral.

Chopper 4 was over the scene where Miami-Dade Fire Rescue trucks had arrived.

Images showed an overturned red truck on the side of the highway.

Traffic was affected for miles, frustrating rush-hour drivers in both directions.

It was not immediately clear if anyone had been injured in the accident.
