Multiple people were injured in a traffic accident involving a tractor-trailer and multiple vehicles on State Road 84 in Fort Lauderdale, with four of them hospitalised. The incident occurred on Tuesday at around 3:30 pm, prompting a response from the city's fire rescue teams.
Details of the accident are still emerging, but officials confirm that all injuries were minor, with six people treated at the scene and then taken to the hospital for further treatment. The extent of their conditions has not been disclosed.
The tractor-trailer was involved in a collision with multiple vehicles, resulting in significant damage to several of the vehicles. Crews are working to contain a diesel fuel leak from the tractor-trailer and upright the crane truck that was also involved in the accident.
Eyewitness footage suggests that emergency responders were seen conducting mop-up operations at the scene, where some leakage could be seen dripping from the side wall of one of the damaged vehicles. The area remains congested with traffic delays expected to last while crews continue their efforts.
Residents and drivers are advised to expect significant traffic disruptions in the vicinity of SR 84 and I-95 until further notice.

what's the deal with these tractor-trailer accidents? like, can't they just watch out for those school buses 
on the road? or maybe give people some space when they're changing lanes 
seriously though, four people in the hospital is no joke. hope they all bounce back from this. and ugh, stuck in traffic because of it 
that's just frustrating. and can't they contain those fuel leaks faster?! it's like, basic safety protocols 
anyway, fingers crossed everyone gets through this okay...
... just think about how scary it must've been for those people on the road! A tractor-trailer accident is no joke, especially with all those vehicles involved 
I hope everyone who got hurt is going to be okay soon 
, and a big thank you to the fire rescue teams for rushing over to help 
... now let's just hope it doesn't cause any more delays on SR 84 
...
... I'm glad no one was killed, but four people in the hospital? That's still really concerning. The fact that there were multiple vehicles involved is just a nightmare 
. I'm all for keeping the area open, but I get why they're saying traffic delays will be long-term. Maybe it's time to rethink our roads and infrastructure? 
i mean, we need to start taking safety precautions seriously, especially with all the heavy trucks and cargo vessels zipping around us. what's up with the lack of proper infrastructure and regulation, tho? shouldn't we be investing more in road safety instead of just patching things up when they break down 
And crew's working hard to clean up that fuel leak, great job to them! 
How do these accidents even happen? And what about the poor drivers who got hurt? Four people in the hospital? That's just not fair. 
man, this is crazy! I was just driving down that road yesterday and it's like you never know when something like this could happen. I'm just glad nobody's life was lost, right? 
. And seriously, who lets a crane truck be in an accident 
! That sounds like a super scary accident on the road, especially with a tractor-trailer involved. Thankfully, it's not like a full-blown disaster or anything... yet 
. But seriously, those six people who got taken to the hospital are probably super relieved that they're getting the help they need. Can't even imagine how frightening that must be for them. Traffic delays in Fort Lauderdale? Not exactly what you want on a Tuesday afternoon 
. at least the injuries aren't too serious, that's a big relief.
. i hope they can get everything sorted out soon. traffic delays are going to be a real pain for everyone, especially commuters who rely on sr 84. 
... that's super scary. But the worst part is all those cars got damaged and there's a huge fuel leak 
hopefully no one is too badly hurt and everyone gets back to normal soon 
... I just hope no one got seriously hurt, but honestly, four people in the hospital is still way too many 
. Can't we just get some decent infrastructure around here? 
. So many people got hurt, but it's good to hear most of their injuries were minor 
Can't believe they had to clean up all that diesel fuel spillage and crane wreckage. And now we're stuck with traffic delays for who-knows-how-long? Unbelievable!
