OK, WE’RE MOVING ON. 622. LET’S GO OVER TO MEGAN. GOOD MORNING. KELLIANNE IS ON HER WAY RIGHT NOW. I’M CHECKING SOME BREAKING TRAFFIC. TWO PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN THE ACCIDENT ON STATE ROAD 417. THIS IS A LIVE VIEW HERE. IT’S THE SOUTHBOUND LANES NEAR I DRIVE. YOU CAN SEE THE TWO RIGHT LANES AS WELL AS THE BAND SIDES ARE CLOSED DUE TO THIS ACCIDENT. AND AGAIN, UNFORTUNATELY, IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT TWO PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN THIS ACCIDENT. WE KNOW THAT THREE CARS WERE INVOLVED INCLUDING THE TREE STUMP TRUCK. FHP TELL US THAT TWO PEOPLE WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY WERE DEAD ON ARRIVAL. SO WHEN YOU GET OUT THE DOOR IT’S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE LONG UNTIL THAT FAILS. FROM A TRAFFIC PERSPECTIVE YOU CAN SEE CARS STILL COMING BY IN THE LEFT LANE AND USING THAT EDGE AS WELL. I WOULD EXPECT THAT THERE WILL BE DELAYS HERE THROUGHOUT THE MORNING. OF COURSE WE SEE THESE SLIPPERY CONDITIONS FOR YOUR MORNING DRIVE, SO THIS IS NOT THE DAY TO BE IN A RUSH. IF YOU GET OUT THE DOOR THIS FRIDAY MORNING, I WOULD ADD MAYBE 10 TO 15 MINUTES FOR YOUR MORNING DRIVE. THIS IS THE ONLY MAJOR ACCIDENT RIGHT NOW, BUT ALSO IT’S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE LONG TO RESOLVE ON THE SOUTH SIDE. THE NORTH SIDE IS NOT AFFECTED. I’M CHECKING THE DRIVE TIMES ON I-4. WEST SIDE FROM LAKE MARY TO LEE ROAD. WE’RE NINE MINUTES, EAST JIM TO COLONIAL. WE’RE IN THE GREEN RANGE. IN FOUR MINUTES. IT
