The Florida Highway Patrol has released details on a three-vehicle crash at 4:15 that shut down I-10 westbound near the Highway 29 exit on Thursday afternoon.

FHP said a 50-year-old Lakeland, Florida, man was driving a westbound semi-truck pulling an empty flatbed trailer. Troopers said he failed to maintain proper distance from an SUV driven by a 69-year-old Pensacola woman. The semi collided with the SUV, causing it to overturn once. The side of the flatbed trailer then struck a pickup truck driven by a 67-year-old Pensacola man.

The driver of the semi was not injured. The driver of the SUV was extricated and transported to a local hospital in serious condition. The driver of the pickup and his passenger received minor injuries and were not transported to the hospital

The crash backed traffic up on both I-10 westbound and I-110 northbound.

    I drive the speed limit through there, and the semi’s speed past me beeping their horn. They need to slow down. They’re the main culprit for all these traffic jams and accidents and delays.
