The Department of Transportation video showed traffic backed up for miles, and drivers were rerouted to Monument Road.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, just before 11 a.m., a black Toyota Highlander was driving south on I-295 in the right lane while a green semitruck with a dump trailer was traveling in the left lane.
Troopers said the Toyota Highlander switched lanes and struck the right side of the green semitruck, causing the vehicle to smash through the guardrail and cross over the median into northbound lanes.
The collision caused one of the green semitruck’s tires to come off and hit a white semi-car hauler that was traveling north on I-295.
There were no injuries in this crash.
