A crash involving a motorcyclist prompted air rescue and blocked lanes on U.S. 1 Thursday.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said it responded to a medical call with reports of a downed motorcyclist near mile marker 124.
“Air rescue is en route, and it looks as if US-1 will be closed to be used as a landing zone,” the fire department said.
The motorcyclist’s condition was not immediately known.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said the 18-mile stretch was blocked in both directions between mile markers 123 and 125 on the Miami-Dade County side.
It was not immediately clear what caused the crash. Traffic could be seen backing up the area.
