A serious traffic accident has occurred at 6130 Alturas Babson Park Cutoff Rd, Bartow, FL. Multiple emergency units are on scene, and the incident is significantly blocking traffic in the area.
This is a very severe crash, and at this time. We believe a medical helicopter evacuation will be taking place. No further details are available.
Please avoid the area and seek alternate routes. Emergency responders from Polk County Fire Rescue are actively working the scene.
Please drive carefully this holiday weekend. Your well being is more important than anything else you could be doing. No speeding (law enforcement alone should stop you) and please don’t be looking at your phone or other distractions.- Carl
