Traffic on a Florida highway was snarled for about three hours by a 43 car pileup late Friday afternoon.

The massive chain-reaction collision happened just before 5 p.m. on the westbound lanes of state highway 408 near a toll plaza in Orlando, police said.

Only one person was hospitalized with minor injuries, according to cops.

The cause of the pileup wasn’t immediately known. Photos from the scene show the road was wet following a rainstorm.
