STUART, FL – A semi-truck driver and a 10-year-old child with them were taken to Martin South Hospital after they tried to switch lanes and rear-ended another big rig Wednesday.
WPBF said this collision occurred around 6:15 a.m. on northbound Florida’s Turnpike. The second semi that was struck was hit on the left back corner. As indicated in the source’s photo, the impact led one of the trucks, an Amazon semi, to jackknife
