MICANOPY, Fla. (WCJB) - Florida Highway Patrol troopers have reopened a major North Central Florida roadway after lanes were shut down due to a crash that injured two people.

All northbound lanes on U.S. Highway 441 were blocked near Southwest 104th Avenue in Paynes Prairie after a crash occurred around 8:50 a.m. Troopers put a detour in place until the lanes were cleared.

Alachua County Fire Rescue crews say two cars were involved. When they arrived, a driver was trapped inside a vehicle. Emergency crews used the “jaws of life” to retrieve the driver. Two people were taken to area hospitals.
