TAMPA, Fla. — A person is in custody following a four-car crash Tuesday morning along North Dale Mabry Highway that shut down several lanes near the Interstate 275 overpass in Midtown.

The Tampa Police Department said the crash happened around 6:20 a.m. and that no one was seriously injured. The person in custody caused the crash and tried to run off before police caught them, TPD said.
