A truck driver was seriously injured in a chain reaction crash in Florida on Sunday morning.
The accident happened on July 24th at around 7:45 a.m. in Lakeland, Florida.
Florida highway Patrol reports that a semi truck was heading west on Interstate 4 when it failed to slow for stopped traffic. The rig then crashed into the back of another tractor trailer, pushing that truck into a pickup.
The driver of the first semi truck that failed to slow, a 32-year-old man from Greensboro, North Carolina, sustained serious injuries in the crash. Neither the other driver or the motorist were injured in the incident, reported Fox 13.
