"Apparently the load he was carrying shifted to the left, causing him to overturn," said Trooper Dennis Shorter of Florida Highway Patrol.

The driver, 43-year-old Rodrigo Morata, was not injured. Troopers said the 24-ton concrete cylinder load remained attached to the trailer.

Oil and diesel fuel leaked onto the roadway, and a hazmat crew cleaned it up.

The entrance ramp was closed until mid-morning Friday.

Morata was cited with failing to use due care.
