Log truck traveling too fast flips before Fuller Warren Bridge, causing hours-long closures

One person was trapped and a hazmat team was on the way after a crash on I-95 Thursday night.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Fire & Rescue Department teams were on the scene of a traffic crash that shut down all lanes of I-95 northbound, south of the Fuller Warren Bridge Thursday night.

The Florida Highway Patrol report says a loaded log tractor-trailer was traveling northbound on I-95 around 8:15 p.m. when it overturned on a curve approaching the Fuller Warren Bridge.

The tractor-trailer blocked all lanes of I-95 northbound as a result. The logs spilled on the travel lanes.

A second car crashed into one of the logs. The FHP report says the driver of that vehicle was not hurt. 

The 60-year-old driver of the tractor-trailer was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. He was trapped inside the vehicle earlier, according to JFRD. 

Traffic on I-95 was at a complete standstill. 

There was a fuel leak and the hazmat team was on the scene. 

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said the highway was closed for several hours.
