On Monday morning, the Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) reported that two semis collided on Highway 70 West near Northwest 41st Avenue.
Officials stated that both travel lanes had been blocked.
In OCSO’s latest update at 8:24 a.m., it was stated that the highway would be closed for most of the day due to a large diesel spill at the crash site.
