Not again! Same overpass struck by truck on I-75 in Marion County

Dump truck bed lodges between 66th Street overpass and I-75

MARION COUNTY, Fla. – For the second time in weeks, the same overpass was struck by a vehicle on Interstate 75 in Marion County, deputies said.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook early Tuesday that a dump truck struck the 66th Street overpass on I-75. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the bed of the truck was upright and struck the overpass in the outside lane of an active construction site.

The northbound lanes were closed while the truck was removed, but it has since reopened.

Video from the scene shows a rig stopped directly under the overpass, with its dump truck bed vertical and lodged between the bridge and the road.

The same overpass was struck and damaged by a tractor-trailer in late February, causing the road to be closed for hours.
