JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Florida Department of Transportation workers will soon be repairing a guardrail on Interstate 95 near Lem Turner Road after a semi truck overturned Tuesday morning.
All southbound lanes were shut down for about six hours because of the crash and reopened just before 10 a.m. Traffic was not only bad on the interstate but also on roads around the area like Lem Turner and Norwood Avenue.
