A sedan swerving to avoid a box that fell off a pickup left I-75 north of Gainesville and collided with a tree Saturday morning.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) release, a 25-year-old Gainesville man driving a sedan was driving north on I-75 near mile marker 390 at 10:24 a.m. when he swerved to avoid a large box containing an AC coil that fell off a pickup driven by 57-year-old Gainesville man.
The sedan left the road and collided with a tree on the east shoulder of I-75.
