A motorcyclist sustained serious injuries in a crash on U.S. 1 in Fort Lauderdale on Friday morning, WPLG Local 10 reported. The incident led to the closure of a portion of U.S. 1 as emergency responders attended the scene.

Separately, CBS News Miami reported that all southbound general-purpose lanes of I-95 were shut down near Davie Boulevard following a crash with reported injuries. This closure caused significant traffic delays extending toward Sunrise, although express lanes remained open to help manage traffic flow.

Authorities are managing the scenes and working to reopen lanes as soon as it is safe to do so. Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes and expect delays in the affected areas.
