MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - A tractor-trailer has overturned along the Florida Turnpike, shutting down the northbound lanes for hours.
The tractor-trailer landed on its side, as it headed southbound at about 199th Street and the Turnpike near 191st Street in Miami Gardens, at around 9:30 a.m., Wednesday.
According to Florida Highway Patrol, the driver of the tractor-trailer lost control of the vehicle and “collided into the center median barrier wall, causing it to jackknife.”
7SkyForce hovered over the scene where the trailer could be seen laying on its side.
Two other vehicles, a black BMW and a white SUV, were involved in the collision and could be seen feet away from the trailer.
Firefighters were seen dousing the trailer with water as there was a fuel leak. About 60 gallons of fuel spilled onto the roadway, according to officials.
The leak has since been stopped.
All three drivers were transported to a local hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
