A pedestrian was struck by a vehicle on I-95 northbound near the Georgia-Florida state line Tuesday, prompting Florida law enforcement to close highway exits approaching the scene.
What’s happening: The Kingsland Police Department issued an accident alert for the crash on I-95 northbound near the state line. Florida officers are working to shut down the highway at exits before the state line.
What’s important: The highway closure is causing traffic delays on I-95 northbound. Drivers are being detoured to Highway 17, Scrubby Bluff, and Highway 40.

“Somewhere along the way, we stopped considering other people. Blinkers? Optional. Four-way stops? A chaotic free-for-all.”
