Slammed into the guardrail. His body went flying and came to rest good 20 or 30 yards away. He was speeding at such a high velocity that motorcycle kept traveling onto the onramp. Toward 275. At least another two, 300 yards. Again, it looks like, from what i can tell right now, they are almost done providing the scene. Typically when they remove the vehicle it is because they are for medical examiner to remove that body. You know, praying for him and his family as well. In terms of the traffic. You said it right. It is a traffic nightmare. Especially when youre coming i4, westbound. It is backed up for several miles. From what we understand. Past selmon expressway. So if you typically take i4 to downtown area. Or westshore or tampa international. Remember southbound 275 is closed off. So is the downtown exit east and west. They will remain closed for another half hour. Possibly more than, that thats why we are seeing backups for miles. So again avoid this area. But you said it well, sh
Good morning to you. We have some updates here to lane blockage along 275 and i4. This is due to an earlier motorcycle involved crash that had all the drivers on i4 westbound unable to get on to 275 south. Forced to take detour northbound. What we are seeing even though we have big delays. Drivers now from i4 west can get to 275. So those lanes are open. Just moments ago we saw, we had skyfox monitoring downtown exits. Those are now open. So we are going some improvements to travel times. But it will take awhile. Because road was shut down for hours. You can see this is earlier video of the area. And what we know is that it does involve a motorcyclist that apparently was involved in this wreck. Slammed into the barrier and unfortunately passed away. We have the lanes open. This is earlier aerial video when downtown exit was closed. And 275 south was open. And delays are still bad. So drivers are still urged to either plan extra time or use some work around. I am going to just clarify.
One or two very isolated showers moving across the state. Nothing worse than what weve dealing with over the past several days or so. I think the rest of the weekend is going to follow suit as well. Well talk about that in 7 day in just a little bit. All right. Dave, thank you. And just to recap, what a busy morning it has been earlier footage from i4 westbound at 275. Where we actually had all of those lanes closed heading on to 275 south for a few hours crash. This motorcyclist apparently hit a guardrail and was ejected. You could see the back up that is ensued afterwards. The good news is were completely normal at this point as far as the traffic and congestion that were seeing. We have a live look for you here westbound i4 in area of nebraska heading all into lanes of 275 where everything seems to be trucking along quite smoothly. And our travel times look quite nice. Ideal really. 275. All right. Vanessa, thank you. A horrifying discovery early this morning at an apartment complex
