Overturned log truck blocks US 301 northbound before Interstate 10 for hours

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A rolled-over log truck blocked the northbound lanes of U.S. 301 at Interstate 10. The crash happened before 7:15 a.m. Monday morning.

The crash closed the road for several hours while crews cleaned up the mess left behind. It finally reopened shortly before 11:30 a.m.

According to JSO, the driver had an issue with the trailer of his truck and lost control.

No other vehicles were involved and the driver was not injured.

Florida Department of Transportation was at the scene and drivers were being directed around the crash by going east on Normandy Boulevard.

As of 9:30 a.m., crews were still working to remove the truck and the logs that fell off the truck from the road. An hour later, that work was nearly complete and our crew was asked to leave in advance of the highway reopening to traffic.
