Investigators said the driver of the truck somehow lost control of the vehicle and took out a light post before driving off the roadway. The truck, which came to rest off the highway in the grass, was carrying barrel roof tiles.
Officials previously blocked off three lanes, but they have since been reopened. Backed up traffic along the southbound lanes of I-75, south of I-595, in Weston is now moving along.
