By 2:30, wreckers had arrived and begun moving vehicles. The tour bus was sitting in the grass off to the side of the highway.

News4Jax was told by the Florida Highway Patrol that it appears the crash began with a mechanical problem on the shuttle bus.

No students were aboard at the time, and neither the driver of the overturned car and or a tow truck that was also involved were hurt.

All lanes of I-95 reopened about 3:15 p.m. The FHP is expected to release more details later in the day.
