A 9-car crash at the intersection of Alicia Parkway and Jeronimo Road on Saturday has left at least two people seriously injured, authorities said.

Deputies responded to the scene shortly after 12 p.m., said Orange County Sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Todd Hylton. Initially it appeared seven vehicles were involved but that number was increased to nine around 2 p.m., Hylton said.

A total injury count was not immediately available.

“It’s a pretty big scene they’re trying to unwind, which is why we’ve got a lot of units still out there assisting right now,” Hylton said.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Westbound Alicia Parkway at Jeronimo Parkway, and southbound Jeronimo Parkway to Acero remained closed as of 3:00 p.m. As the Sheriff’s major accident reconstruction team works to investigate the scene, Hylton said those significant road closures will likely remain in place for several hours.

“There are a lot of moving parts, unfortunately, and a lot of people involved,” Hylton said.
