A multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 75, near Mile Marker 136, has left two injured.

The crash, which the Florida Highway Patrol said involved seven vehicles, happened about a mile from Colonial Boulevard.

A sedan driven by a 25-year-old was traveling north on I-75, on the outside lane, approaching congested traffic, according to FHP.

An SUV driven by a 63-year-old was traveling north on Interstate 75, approaching congested traffic as well, said troopers.

A second sedan, driven by a 61-year-old, a pickup truck driven by a 42-year-old, a second pickup truck driven by a 48-year-old, and a third pickup truck driven by a 23-year-old were stopped on northbound I-75 in congested traffic, said FHP.

Meanwhile, troopers said, a fourth pickup truck, driven by a 44-year-old, was traveling north on I-75, behind the SUV, approaching congested traffic.

The first Sedan veered left and sideswiped the SUV, according to investigators. After the impact, the SUV rotated and collided with the second sedan, the first pickup truck, the second pickup and the third pickup truck.

The fourth pickup truck then collided with the SUV.

The driver of the SUV and the driver of the second sedan sustained injuries and were transported to Gulf Coast Hospital in unknown conditions.
