Hydroplaning Semi-Truck Crashes Into Median, Blocking I-10 Westbound
June 8, 2026
A jackknifed semi truck and trailer completely shut down I-10 in Escambia County on Sunday morning.
It happened around 7 a.m. on I-10 westbound near the West Nine Mile Road exit. The Florida Highway Patrol said the semi, driven by a 31-year-old Houston man, hydroplaned and ran off the roadway, striking the concreate median barricade.
The truck and trailer blocked both westbound lanes of the interstate. Authorities diverted all westbound traffic off the interstate onto West Nine Mile Road.

That is one of the MOST dangerous set ups with the lane shift at the exit, i drive it often and still catches me by surprise, I needs to be modifies. You can’t see the Concrete barrier before you’re on it and its right in the middle of a quick shift to the left.
