Lake County, FL – A section of State Road 33 in Groveland is shut down Friday afternoon following a crash near Swamp Drive, according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Officials reported that southbound traffic is being rerouted to Pine Island Road, while northbound lanes are also seeing significant delays. Drivers are urged to avoid the area until further notice.
According to deputies, emergency crews remain on scene clearing the wreckage and directing traffic. It’s unclear how many vehicles were involved or if injuries occurred.
