A fatal crash has closed two lanes of southbound Interstate 75 south of Sarasota.

Deputies say the scene of the crash is near mile marker 201, which is a few miles south of the Clark Road exit.

Photos from the scene show a car that apparently slammed into the back of a semi truck, though it’s not clear what led up to the crash.

Deputies say traffic could be impacted “for some time.”
