Description
State transportation officials said they don't know yet how long the Interstate 75/U.S. 301 interchange will be closed, nor whether there will be any extended closures as a result of today's fiery wreck.
The fire started when the southbound tanker, fully loaded with petroleum products, was involved in an accident with at least one other vehicle on the interstate and plunged into the southbound lanes of U.S. 301.
Heat from the fire was causing chunks of concrete to fall from the southbound lanes of I-75 onto U.S. 301. Check our FORUM for more information.
