A person suffered traumatic injuries and was airlifted from the scene after a crash involving an SUV and a semi-truck on Interstate 95 in Martin County Thursday.
The collision prompted a major response from emergency crews. Details about how the crash occurred were not immediately clear, but the severity of the injuries required air transport for at least one victim.
The crash follows another serious incident on the same highway earlier Thursday, when all northbound lanes near Kanner Highway were closed due to a separate collision. I-95 serves as the primary north-south route through Martin County, connecting Stuart, Jensen Beach, and other coastal communities to neighboring Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties.
Martin County has seen multiple traffic incidents on I-95 in recent months, highlighting ongoing safety concerns on one of Florida's busiest highways. Drivers are urged to exercise caution and remain alert, particularly in construction zones and during heavy traffic periods.
