I was on my way home from my companies Lake Mary, FL office and sat at a stand still on I-4 for about 45 minutes. Come to find out the wreck had completely closed off the eastbound lanes. Here is the story that I found. It was crazy, the “tractor-trailor” as they called it, was completely totaled. I guess wrecks like this in Florida are common? Crazyness.

Quoted from Wesh

“A fatal crash on Interstate 4 near the Longwood rest area has closed the eastbound side of the highway on Tuesday night.

Officials said the crash involves a tractor-trailer and a pickup truck. The pickup truck rolled over.

One person is dead and there are multiple patients with minor injuries, officials said.

The Florida Highway Patrol cannot reopen the roadway until it is sanded down due to a fuel spill.”

Crazy day! So I get to work after what happend this morning. And I look out of the window and see police cars and ambulances every where. Then not about 10 minutes later 2 helicopters go over and start life lining people from I-75 South Bound. Come to find out there was a fatal car accident at exit 208. Could this day get any crazier?!
