TAMPA, FL – First responders were dispatched to a crash involving a concrete truck or rock hauler on I-275 South Thursday, WFLA reported. 

After arriving at the collision site, crews closed the southbound lanes but reopened the area later. 

During the closures, drivers were asked to MLK Jr. Boulevard as an alternative route. As such, traffic delays could be seen building up on I-275 North. 

TAMPA, FL – A 64-year-old man operating a semi-truck plowed into the Tampa Bypass Canal from I-75, leading to his death Monday, Click Orlando said. 

This collision occurred after 2:30 a.m. when the driver of the semi lost control of the truck, which caused the truck to hit the concrete barrier before going over the wall. As a result, the cab separated, and the trailer hung from the bridge and went into the canal. 

Divers from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office were able to recover the man’s body, which fell 40 feet below the surface and was declared dead.
