A third Florida Highway Patrol entry is now open on Interstate 75 southbound at Estero, this one logged at twelve past seven with its roadblock in the left lane rather than on the shoulder, and the six fifty nine entry has been moved on the board to the Corkscrew Road southbound entrance ramp

The Florida Highway Patrol has logged a third entry this morning on the Estero stretch of Interstate 75 southbound, and this one puts its roadblock in a travel lane.

The entry was logged at 7.12 a.m. at mile marker 123. Its remarks read roadblock left lane. On two readings taken about forty seconds apart, at 7.16 a.m. and 7.17 a.m., it was open, with the columns this desk reads as the update stamp and the clearance stamp both empty on each.

That is a change from the wording this site reported at ten past seven, when the open entry at that mile marker carried remarks putting its roadblock on the left shoulder.

There is a correction to go with it. The 6.59 a.m. entry, the one this site published as a crash on the southbound carriageway at mile marker 123, has been relocated on the board. Its location now reads Corkscrew Road at the Interstate 75 southbound entrance ramp at exit 123, and its coordinates have moved about three quarters of a kilometre to the southeast to match. Its dispatch time is unchanged at 6.59 a.m., it has gained an update stamp of 7.07 a.m., its clearance column is still empty and its remarks still read roadblock left shoulder. The earlier description was what the board said at the time. It is not what the board says now.

How the two entries relate is not something the record states. The new one carries its own dispatch timestamp of 7.12 a.m., and a dispatch timestamp has stayed fixed on every entry this desk has watched this morning, which is how the board marks one entry from another. The coordinates on the new entry sit within about three metres of the coordinates the 6.59 entry carried before it was moved. Whether that is a second crash at the same point, the same scene dispatched again, or a mainline entry opened alongside a ramp entry, the board does not say and neither does this desk.

A mile south, the hit and run crash at mile marker 122 remains cleared, with the 6.55 a.m. stamp it carried an hour ago.

What the board does not carry is most of what matters. There is no injury information on either open entry, no count of vehicles, no description of them and no account of either crash. No person is named on the record. No agency has published a statement that this desk could locate.

Neither local newsroom could be read on this run, as on both earlier briefs this morning. The WINK News search feed returned a rate limit error and the Gulf Coast News traffic alerts path returned a not found error. Nothing here is corroborated against either, and this rests on the state dispatch record alone.

Both readings returned a populated grid of forty statewide rows and the same three Lee and Collier records. That check matters because a parse that returns nothing looks like a quiet morning rather than a failure, so the row count was confirmed before the county filter was believed.

The clock needs the same note as the earlier briefs. The board prints its timestamps on a twelve hour clock with no marker for morning or evening. This is the morning: of the timestamp cells on the forty rows, fifty one carry an hour of six and twenty two carry an hour of seven, the hours these readings fall in, and none anywhere reads thirteen or above.

Mile marker 123 is the Corkscrew Road interchange. United States 41 runs parallel through Estero and Bonita Springs for anyone who needs to get around the stretch.
