Seminole County, FL : Overturned tractor-trailer caused the eastbound lanes of Interstate 4 to shut down on Monday September 1st 2014
An overturned tractor-trailer caused the eastbound lanes of Interstate 4 to shut down near Lake Mary Boulevard at SR-434 in Longwood Tuesday, authorities said.
Emergency crews managed to move the tractor-trailer, and at about 7 a.m., the roadway was reopened.
The Florida Highway Patrol said Santos Andujar, 52, fell asleep while driving. FHP said when Andujar woke up he panicked and swerved hard to the right.
As a result, the tractor-trailer began to tilt counter-clockwise onto the driver's side wheels, only before completely tilting onto its left side and crashing into the median guardrail.
Andujar had minor injuries and was cited for careless driving, troopers said.
