PLANTATION, FLA. (WSVN) - The Florida Turnpike in Plantation is finally open again after crews cleared spilled logs following a wreck that left a truck overturned on the Florida Turnpike.
Three hours before most of the lanes reopened, Plantation Fire Rescue shared an image on Twitter showing a truck that was hauling logs flipped onto its side, blocking all lanes of traffic south on the Turnpike and beyond Sunrise Boulevard.
