A fatal crash involving semi-trucks shut down southbound Interstate 95 in Ormond Beach early Thursday morning.
According to authorities, the collision happened shortly before 3 a.m. on southbound I-95 at mile marker 276. Investigators said a disabled semi-truck was in the outside lane after it had previously struck a deer. A second semi-truck then crashed into the rear of that disabled truck.
The driver of the second semi-truck was killed in the crash. No additional victim details were confirmed in the available information.
The impact caused the striking truck to catch fire. Southbound lanes of Interstate 95 remained closed for several hours overnight and into Thursday morning while emergency crews worked at the scene and officials investigated. The roadway later reopened around midday.
At this stage, authorities have not released further information about the person who died, and no additional injuries or enforcement actions were confirmed in the available facts. The crash remains under investigation.
