A boat crashed into a Florida Keys bridge Wednesday night — injuring several people and shutting down one of the two roads leading to the island chain, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
The agency sent out an alert on its app about the crash shortly after 10 p.m.
A Miami-Dade Fire Rescue spokesman said the crash is being handled by Ocean Reef Fire Rescue, the department that serves the gated community of Ocean Reef Club in north Key Largo.
Adam Linhardt, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office spokesman, said at least two people are injured.
Card Sound Road is a rural highway that leads to and from Key Largo from the mainland at Florida City. The more traveled road in and out of the Keys is the 18 Mile Stretch of U.S. 1.
