Alachua County, FL – Drivers in western Alachua County are facing significant travel disruptions today after a vehicle crash with injuries forced the closure of SW Williston Road.
According to the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, deputies and rescue personnel are on scene near 8000 SW Williston Road at SW 80th Place, where a crash involving injuries occurred earlier today. As a result, both eastbound and westbound lanes are shut down while emergency crews respond.
Officials have not released details on how many vehicles were involved or the extent of the injuries, but authorities confirmed the crash required medical response. Motorists are being asked to avoid the area and seek alternate routes until the roadway can be safely reopened.
SW Williston Road is a key east-west corridor connecting rural western Alachua County to Gainesville, and closures in this area often lead to backups during daytime travel hours. Drivers heading toward Gainesville, Jonesville, or nearby neighborhoods should expect delays and plan additional travel time.
No estimated reopening time has been announced. Law enforcement remains on scene managing traffic and conducting the investigation. Updates are expected once the roadway is cleared and safe for travel.
Residents who live nearby may also experience slower response times or detours as emergency vehicles continue to work in the area.
