Crash on I-95 SB just north of St. Augustine outlet malls shuts down highway for hours Thursday

Lanes reopened late Thursday morning after being shut down for hours on I-95 southbound just north of the St. Augustine outlet malls.

According to the preliminary report from the Florida Highway Patrol, the crash involved two tractor-trailers, which caused a mess on the highway, but no one was injured.

The report says a semi with a blue cab and another with a white cab and no trailer were traveling southbound on I-95 in the right lane when they both merged into the middle lane at the same time to avoid stopped traffic in the right lane.

Troopers said the front bumper of the blue semi crashed into the rear bumper of the white semi, sending the white semi spinning into the center median guardrail.
