A second crash with injuries had traffic backed up for miles on State Road 429 in Ocoee. All southbound lanes of SR-429 were blocked at Plant Street but have since reopened.

According to FHP, a Dodge Charger failed to stop for traffic that was stopped ahead, which caused a multi-vehicle crash. Three people were injured and taken to AdventHealth Apopka Hospital. The crash is still under investigation.
