Head On Crash Closes LaBelle Bridge For The Day

LABELLE, FL. -- A head on crash Friday morning involving a semi truck and another vehicle closed down the main north south route between LaBelle and Glades county on State Road 29, also known as Bridge Street in LaBelle.

The bridge crosses the Caloosahatchee River in LaBelle. The crash at the north foot of the bridge left a diesel oil spill which must be cleaned up before the bridge can reopen which might be as late at early evening Friday.

Motorists were stranded in a mile long line on both sides of the river, and were forced to go to the Fort Denaud Bridge west of LaBelle to cross the river, or farther to the east at Moore Haven to cross. 

Injuries were reported but no fatalities.
