A crash involving a semi-truck and at least four other cars led to the shutdown of all lanes of Interstate 95 North near Commercial Boulevard Sunday morning.

The lanes reopened by 12:35 p.m., said Lt. Yanko Reyes, a spokesman for the Florida Highway Patrol. The closure lasted about 90 minutes.

The semi-truck was leaking oil onto the road, Reyes said. Traffic was diverted off the exit ramp to Commercial Boulevard.

Some drivers had minor injuries, but Reyes did not have details on how many people were hurt or whether they were taken to a hospital.

The Florida Highway Patrol said in a tweet that drivers should use caution and avoid the area if possible.
