CLEARWATER, Fla. — First responders are investigating after a semi crashed near a Clearwater business Wednesday morning.
Investigators said a semi-truck veered out of control and crashed into a traffic signal pole near Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard shop. The
truck narrowly missed the building, according to Clearwater Fire and Rescue.
No injuries were reported.
The driver, according to investigators, was cited for careless driving.
Drivers in the area can expect traffic delays at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Ave and Court Street for several hours.
