LEE COUNTY, Fla. -- One driver was flown to the hospital in critical condition Wednesday morning after a multi-vehicle crash on Tamiami Trail in Estero.

It happened shortly before 8 a.m. near Commons Way.

According to Florida Highway Patrol, a school bus was stopped in the southbound lanes with lights on and stop signs out when a southbound white pickup truck swerved to avoid the bus.

The truck clipped a gray truck before crossing the median and colliding with a white NIssan car. The car's driver was trauma alerted to an area hospital.

Northbound lanes of Tamiami Trail are blocked at the scene.

We'll update with more details as they are made available.
