SUMTER COUNTY, Fla. — A tractor-trailer transporting pallets crashed and overturned early Wednesday morning, according to Florida Highway Patrol (FHP).
FHP said a 29-year-old Jacksonville man was driving as he was headed northbound on I-75 just after 5 a.m. on April 15.
The accident happened near milepost 335 and the Sumter/Marion County line, when FHP said the driver fell asleep and lost control of the tractor-trailer, which then overturned, blocking the northbound lanes of I-75.
FHP said the driver suffered minor injuries but was not transported to the hospital.
All lanes of I-75 have been reopened as of 11:30 a.m., FHP said.
