The number of vehicles that crashed and the number of people who sustained injuries remain undisclosed. Law enforcement doesn’t typically release medical details unless fatalities occur.
Walt Disney World Resort hasn’t addressed the incident publicly; the park rarely comments on traffic accidents on or near its property.
Complete Northbound Shutdown
@WDWActiveCrime reported a total northbound lane closure on SR429 following the crash:

Guests traveling near the SR429 and Seidel Road intersection should plan alternate routes to Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. When lanes will reopen depends on investigation and cleanup completion times, which haven’t been announced.
Guests should always allow extra travel time, follow local laws, and monitor traffic updates when driving near Walt Disney World Resort property. The complete northbound shutdown eliminates all traffic flow in that direction on SR429 near Mile Marker 9, requiring full rerouting for anyone using that approach to the Central Florida Disney parks. Again, it’s unclear when the roadway will reopen.
