A crash reported in the southbound lanes of the Florida Turnpike in Broward County early Friday morning has left two people dead, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Officials said a Mercedes Benz SUV was stopped in the center lane southbound on the Florida Turnpike at Interstate 595 in Davie when a tractor-trailer, which was traveling in the center lane, was unable to avoid it.

The tractor-trailer then crashed into the back of the SUV, pushing it in a southeasterly direction and into a concrete median wall, according to FHP.

Two people were killed and one person was taken to a local hospital, according to FHP.

That crash severely impacted the Friday morning commute leading to traffic delays behind the crash due to several lanes needing to be closed for the investigation.

The crash remains under investigation.
