MIRAMAR, FLA. (WSVN) – A dump truck crash along the Florida Turnpike Extension in Miramar has shut down all but one lane of traffic in both directions about a mile west of University Drive.

7Skyforce hovered above the crash that scattered debris across the roadway, at around 9:15 a.m. on Thursday.

The truck was carrying a load of sand when it struck a median and overturned, dumping the sand all over the westbound lanes.

The sand ended up dilling the rear portion of a sedan seen with considerable damage near the median.

It remains unclear whether or not anyone was injured.

Officials urge drivers to avoid the area and seek alternate routes.
