World Drive Car Crash
A car crash has just taken place on World Drive, causing significant traffic delays. Both ends of the vehicle show damage but the main cabin appears to be unaffected. Despite being smashed on both ends, only the single silver SUV appears to have been involved in the crash. The car has been crushed between the metal barrier between the opposite side of the road and the oncoming traffic.
Firetrucks and first responders are already at the scene of the crash. A firetruck is parked close to the parked car, and several police officers were already talking to those involved. It did not appear that anyone was seriously injured, though details are unconfirmed at this time.
Multiple Disney Security and Parking Operations vehicles are also at the scene. The cars are all parked in the leftmost lane, blocking it from oncoming traffic. Orange parking cones have also been set out around this left lane.
The crash is located on the median to the left of World Drive heading north toward Magic Kingdom. The area is just before the main road splits off toward the Magic Kingdom parking lot.
The crash has yet to be removed from the road and is causing traffic on World Drive to slow down significantly. Guests heading in this direction may want to use an alternative route until the car wreckage and debris is cleared.
