A 58-year-old driver was uninjured when a semi-truck left eastbound Interstate 10 and struck the tree line in Jefferson County, Florida, on Friday, November 6, 2026, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The single-vehicle truck crash happened just after 11 a.m. near exit 219. Troopers said the semi was heading east when it veered off the roadway toward the south shoulder and hit the trees. The truck crash was under investigation, and authorities did not identify what caused the roadway departure.
The crash led to traffic backups on eastbound I-10. Just after 2 p.m., a second crash occurred near exit 217 and resulted in lane closures. A Highway Patrol spokesperson said the slowdown from the earlier crash was likely a contributing factor in that later collision.
Three cars were involved in the second crash. The spokesperson said one person had to be removed from a vehicle. Troopers reported one vehicle in the median and smoke coming from another after the collision. An injury status for the person removed from the vehicle was not reported.
By Friday afternoon, the Highway Patrol said the roadway near exit 217 was clear. That clearance update concerned the later three-car crash; a reopening time for the truck-crash location near exit 219 was not provided.
People documenting a crash in Jefferson County, Florida, can retain the crash report, photographs and insurance correspondence. A qualified attorney can explain how Florida law may apply to the documented circumstances without assuming fault or a particular outcome.
