Semi-truck crash, cargo spill closes part of southbound I-75 in Collier County

COLLIER COUNTY, FL – Florida Highway Patrol were dispatched to a semi-truck wreck that caused delays early Tuesday on Interstate 75 near Ochopee, reports WINK.

The accident happened on the southbound lanes (Alligator Alley) near mile marker 90, at about 3:43 a.m.

While the cause of the crash remains under investigation, the FHP said crews had to clear the roadway of rooftop shingles that had spilled out of the vehicle’s trailer.

A significant traffic backup was reported in the area following the incident, as the road was not completely reopened until after about nine hours.

No information about the driver’s condition was immediately available, and no charges have been reported.
