Both directions of the interstate were closed as “vehicles crashed on both sides,” but troopers later reopened the northbound lanes followed by the southbound lanes just before 8:30 a.m.
FHP said one person died after being ejected from their vehicle.
“This has had a significant effect on traffic and there is very heavy congestion between Viera Blvd. and US-192. Motorists should anticipate slow or stopping traffic in the area for the next few hours,” FHP said.
No other information has been released.
