The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a fatal crash that occurred on Interstate 75 southbound near Bonita Beach Road.
Troopers responded to the scene located near mile marker 117 at around 12:50 a.m. on Tuesday.
According to FHP, a 33-year-old man from Fort Myers was driving a vehicle south on I-75 in the outside lane north of Bonita Beach Road.
A semi-truck, operated by a 45-year-old woman from Cape Coral, was parked on the outside paved shoulder of I-75S.
