According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a semitruck with a trailer struck the back of a CMTI MOT truck that was in the outside lane with its arrow board and lights activated for a vehicle fire that was ahead.
The two vehicles then collided with the outside shoulder guardrail.
The driver of the CMTI truck was pronounced dead at the scene. The man’s name or age was not released. The passenger of the truck, a 42-year-old St. Cloud man, was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
