OCALA, Fla. — Northbound Interstate 75 reopened in Marion County hours after an oversized load being carried by a truck crashed into an overpass, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The incident happened around 9 a.m. Wednesday on I-75 at SW 66th Street, the agency said in a statement.
Troopers say the over-dimensioned load hit the overpass while traveling north on the interstate and caused damage. The damage forced all northbound lanes to be closed for inspection, cleanup and repairs.
A photo from the crash showed a section of the bottom portion of the overpass crumbled onto the interstate with the truck appearing to be stuck underneath.
The 50-year-old driver of the truck wasn't hurt in the crash, FHP reports.
The lanes reopened at 8:55 p.m. Wednesday.
