Big rig rollover wreck prompts closure of northbound I-95 ramp to Florida Turnpike
MIAMI -- A big rig rollover accident early Tuesday prompted authorities to shut down the northbound Interstate 95 on-ramp to the Florida Turnpike just as the morning rush was starting to pick up.
Authorities said no injuries were reported when the tractor-trailer flipped over on the northbound ramp to the turnpike around 4:15 a.m.
The people inside the big rig were able to exit the truck safely, authorities said.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the driver lost control before crashing.
Motorists were urged to find alternative routes while they worked to upright the tractor-trailer and clean up the debris.
One lane of the two-lane ramp reopened shortly after 10 a.m.
