UPDATE 9:40 AM:
The Florida Highway Patrol reports a 70-year-old has serious injuries after this crash.
Troopers believe he was driving east on Six Mile Cypress Parkway, on the outside left turn lane, approaching the intersection of Metro Parkway behind another vehicle. That second driver, also heading east, stopped behind a third driver. That third driver stopped at the intersection, to FHP.
The first driver — a 70-year-old man from Fort Myers — failed to stop for slower moving traffic, according to FHP, and hit the back of the second driver. That crash forced the front of the second driver into the rear of the third.
The crash remains under investigation, and troopers said the two other drivers involved are not injured.
ORIGINAL:
Lee County deputies are redirecting traffic, Tuesday morning, after a 3-vehicle crash.
Deputies told us it happened at Michael G. Rippe Parkway and 6 Mile Cypress in Fort Myers. There are two eastbound lanes closed on 6 Mile Cypress as a result, according to LCSO.
The office told Fox 4 that they cannot confirm anything about injuries at this point. However, we do know the call came in just before 6 a.m. We have a crew headed to the scene to learn more.
