PALM HARBOR — Authorities have blocked off US 19 between Nebraska Avenue and Alderman Road following a multi-car crash.
Just after 4 p.m., a witness called 911 to report a multiple vehicle crash in just south of Alderman Road in the northbound lanes, said Liz Monforti, spokeswoman for Palm Harbor Fire Rescue.
The vehicles included a white car, blue Scion, and white truck, according to early reports. Two patients reportedly have minor injuries. Another is being transported to the hospital by helicopter, Monforti said.
She recommended that motorists take an alternate route since north and southbound lanes US 19 between Nebraska and Alderman will be shut down for a while.
