A four-car crash on Interstate 95 shut down all lanes of the road just after 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 22, near mile marker 294. 

Five people were involved in the crash, but only two were taken to the hospital, according to a report from the Florida Highway Patrol.

The crash began in the northbound lanes when a motorcyclist drove onto the right shoulder to bypass traffic, the report said. The motorcyclist hit an abandoned vehicle on the shoulder, sending debris across the northbound lanes, the report said.

An SUV  with one occupant — a 26-year-old man from St. Cloud — ran over the debris and flipped, rolling over multiple times and coming to a stop in the southbound lanes. 

Another southbound SUV hit the debris from the first SUV, ran off the roadway and onto the right shoulder and caught fire. All three individuals in that SUV were uninjured.

The motorcyclist was taken to Halifax Hospital with serious injuries, and  the St. Cloud man was sent to Advent Health Palm Coast with minor injuries.
