FHP REPORT:

The Florida Highway Patrol is on scene of a traffic crash involving an overturned semi-tractor trailer on Interstate 10 at the 246 eastbound mile marker in Madison County.

The semi-tractor trailer was traveling eastbound in the outside eastbound lane of Interstate 10 when the vehicle drifted onto the southern shoulder of the roadway and collided with several concrete traffic barriers.

As a result of this collision, the driver of the semi-tractor trailer lost control of the vehicle and the vehicle overturned onto its right side. This resulted in both of the eastbound lanes being blocked.

Currently traffic is being routed off of Interstate 10 at the 241-exit due to the recovery and cleanup of the vehicle. There were no injuries associated with this incident.
