GADSDEN COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) - A freight truck accident on I-10 caused traffic to be backed for an hour in Gadsden County.
Richard Smith, 27, of Brandon, Fla. is being charged with failure to use due care.
Florida Highway Patrol responded to an accident at about 7:55 p.m. on Saturday on I-10 eastbound near mile marker 192.
