Crash on Fruitville Road involves vehicles into a building

Morning traffic in downtown Sarasota is snarled after a traffic crash at Fruitville Road and Central Avenue that involved vehicles hitting a business on the southeast corner.

Numerous Sarasota Police and county fire-rescue vehicles are on the scene of the two-vehicle crash reported around 8:30 a.m.

The biggest traffic effects are taking place between Cocoanut and Central avenues, with resulting detour traffic slowing down nearby alternate routes.

No injuries were reported, police said in a social media post, advising drivers to avoid the area.
