FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – A tractor-trailer crash on Interstate 95 Thursday morning closed all northbound lanes in Flagler County for hours.
The wreck happened around 5 a.m. near mile marker 289 in Palm Coast, according to the sheriff’s office. The northbound lanes are closed from Matanzas Woods Parkway to Palm Coast Parkway.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a vehicle traveling south lost control and went off the roadway, struck a guardrail and then reentered the southbound lanes.
The car was in the outside southbound lane when a tractor-trailer traveling south struck the back of the vehicle. The driver and passenger of the vehicle were not inside at the time.
Troopers said the tractor-trailer turned left toward the center guardrail and crashed into it before going into the northbound lanes, spilling “a small amount of hazardous materials.”
The tractor-trailer driver, a 59-year-old Port Saint Lucie man, was uninjured.
