From our location, only one vehicle was visible; the vehicle had heavy damage and was in an unlit area of the highway.

Polk County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer, Carrie Horstman, says that the westbound lanes of Hwy. 60 were temporarily shut down, but are now open to traffic.

Polk County Fire Rescue PIO, Nathaniel Gale, says that an individual had to be extricated from a vehicle, and was transported by ground to a hospital.
