Powell Road is closed in both directions at California Road in Brooksville, Hernando County.  Around 5:50 this morning, a head-on collision occurred at that intersection.  Officials and medical units remain on-scene as of 6:15 am.

Officials warn of extensive delays in the area for several hours as the accident investigation and clean-up continues.  In addition, drivers heading west to access the south lanes of the Suncoast Parkway will need to plan for alternates.  I recommend California Street south to Spring Hill Drive west.
