MIAMI - Northbound lanes on I-95 at SR 84 have begun to reopen after they were closed Friday morning due to a deadly crash.

The lanes remained closed for about seven hours.    

The crash, around 6:30 a.m., involved a tractor-trailer and a Nissan Altima.  

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the driver of a Nissan was in the inside center lane when she for some reason clipped the rear of the tractor-trailer. Both vehicles then went toward the median. The tractor-trailer went over it, flipped onto its roof, and burst into flames.

The driver of the tractor-trailer died, according to the FHP.

The accident caused the lanes to be closed for hours causing a traffic backup several miles long.
