Gainesville, FL – Drivers in Alachua County are facing delays today after a crash with reported injuries blocked part of NW 46th Avenue near NW State Road 45, a key route on the northwest side of Gainesville.
According to the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, deputies and Fire Rescue crews responded to the intersection for a traffic crash that resulted in injuries and a roadway blockage. Authorities say the incident is impacting traffic flow in the area, with crews actively working at the scene.
Traffic is currently being diverted around the crash site along the shoulder of the roadway. Officials warn that this temporary pattern is likely to slow travel significantly, especially during peak afternoon hours as vehicles funnel through a reduced path.

Officials are urging drivers to avoid the area if possible and seek alternate routes until the scene is cleared. No timeline has been provided for when the roadway will fully reopen, and the extent of injuries has not yet been publicly released.
Motorists are advised to use caution when approaching the area, expect sudden slowdowns, and follow directions from deputies on scene. Updates may be provided as crews continue clearing the roadway and investigating the crash.
