Troopers said the crash happened just before 7 p.m. in the eastbound lanes of I-75, also known as Alligator Alley, near mile marker 45.
Authorities said the crash involved multiple motorcycles and caused significant debris to scatter across the roadway. NBC6 cameras showed two motorcycles in the grass near the crash site.
