Crash closes traffic on U.S. 19

Posted on March 23, 2016

The driver of a Culligan water delivery truck lost control of the vehicle and over-corrected, causing the vehicle to cross both southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 19, Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Charles Swindle reported.

The truck hit a concrete drain in the median before rotating counter clockwise and overturning onto its side.
