The driver of a Honda sedan was cited for careless driving Tuesday morning following a rollover crash on Florida’s Turnpike in Broward County, authorities confirmed.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the crash occurred in the northbound lanes of the highway near the Exit 49 ramp to Hollywood Boulevard.
Troopers said the driver of the Honda crashed into a semi-tractor-trailer, causing the semi to strike a guardrail and roll over.
The semi-truck came to rest about 10 feet away from a body of water, authorities said.
Troopers said the truck driver had to be extricated from the semi and was treated for a hand injury.
“Miscellaneous spray bottles spilled from the trailer, and more than 50 gallons of fuel leaked,” an FHP spokesperson said in an email to Local 10 News. “Cleanup operations have 2 lanes blocked.”
It’s unclear what caused the Honda driver to crash into the semi-truck.
