JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Westbound traffic on Interstate 10 near McDuff Avenue was at a standstill Monday afternoon after a semitruck crashed and caused a fuel spill, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The FHP report said a 44-year-old semitruck driver, of Washington, was traveling west on I-10 and didn’t see another car on the road. Troopers said the semitruck driver tried to change lanes, lost control and collided with the barrier wall, causing a 40-year-old driver in a car to veer to the right, cross all lanes and stop in the grass shoulder.
