A multi-vehicle crash involving two semitrailers in Sarasota County has closed southbound Interstate 75 on Wednesday.
According to the North Port Police Department, one lane of traffic along I-75 southbound has reopened at the crash site near mile marker 174.
The Florida Highway Patrol said a crane truck was driving south on the outside lane of I-75 at the same time as a tractor-trailer hauling a flatbed trailer that was also in the outside lane.
The tractor-trailer was reportedly driving at a slower speed with its hazards on. Both vehicles were driving uphill and had a clear line of sight when approaching the Yorkshire Street overpass.
FHP said the crane truck then failed to slow down before striking the rear of the trailer. The crane truck rotated and overturned onto its side, which closed all southbound lanes of travel.
Post collision, FHP said another car collided with crash debris. No life-threatening injuries were reported.
