SUMTER COUNTY, Fla. – A fallen tree is blocking multiple lanes of Florida’s Turnpike in Sumter County as strong storms move through Central Florida Sunday.
The Florida Department of Transportation reported just after 11:30 a.m. traffic congestion on the Turnpike before an update about one hour later that an object in the roadway had all lanes blocked, according to a tweet.
