HOLLYWOOD, FLA. (WSVN) - A rollover crash involving a semi-truck sent its driver to the hospital and led to extensive traffic backups during the morning commute along the Florida Turnpike in Hollywood.
A drone camera captured the wreck off the highway, next to the northbound lanes by the Hollywood Boulevard and Pines Boulevard exits, at around 6:15 a.m. on Tuesday.
The driver of the 18-wheeler appeared to have made a swift turn, causing him to slam into the guardrail, Monday night.
According to Hollywood Fire Rescue, the semi-truck rolled over with the trailer and debris down the embankment on the northbound entrance ramp at Hollywood Boulevard.
The vehicle almost went into a nearby lake but came to rest right next to the water.
Paramedics transported the driver of the truck to an area hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
Crews are working to remove all the debris from the highway and the grassy area off to the shoulder.
