ORLANDO, Fla. — A crash that killed a person closed a section of West Colonial Drive for several hours on Monday morning.
The Orlando Police Department had West Colonial Drive shut down in both directions, which impacted the morning commute on Monday, before the road was fully re-opened at around 8 a.m.
A white car appeared badly smashed while a pickup truck is heavily damaged and no its side. Orlando police say one person was killed, but it is unclear what caused the crash. No further information has been released from officials.
