MARION COUNTY, FL (352today.com) – It’s been a dangerous day on the roads of the 352 so far.

In addition to the fatal accident on southbound I-75 near Wildwood that snarled traffic and reportedly still has vehicles backed up approaching mile marker 326, we’re now getting reports of an accident on S. Pine Ave. at SE 59th St. that has partially blocked the road and caused considerable slowdowns in Ocala.

We’ll have more on this morning’s tragic freeway collision, but in the meantime motorists are advised to take it slow, exercise extreme caution and expect delays if alternate routes can’t be found.
