Interstate 75, FL (August 13, 2018) – A serious Interstate 75 accident left two individuals dead. The vehicles involved included a semi, four-door sedan, and a sports utility vehicle. The two were killed this afternoon.
Traffic was blocked for hours on the ramp for State Road 200. The Florida Highway Patrol reported that the incident happened at 1 p.m. The two people who lost their lives were in a Volkswagen sedan at the time.
A Nissan SUV and a semi-trailer transporting another truck were also at the scene. The patrol said that it is possible that one of the passenger vehicles merged onto the highway and, in doing so, collided with the truck.
Florida homicide investigators are still at the scene investigating the incident.
