From FHP:

A tractor trailer operated by Pat Salmon & Sons of Florida, Inc. of 1509 Picketville Road, Jacksonville, Florida 32220, was traveling southbound on I-75 just north of SR-56 in the outside lane collided with a crash attenuator in the construction zone with its right side.  The collision caused the tractor trailer to jackknife partially and collide with the center median guardrail.  Following behind the tractor trailer was a dump truck which was unable to stop or avoid a collision.  As a result, the dump truck collided with the rear of the tractor trailer.  Both drivers were able to exit their vehicles without injury before a fire erupted on the tractor trailer which was transporting mail.

The crash has closed all southbound lanes of I-75 are expected to remain closed until approximately noon today.  Southbound traffic on I-75 will be diverted onto Exit 279 (SR-54).  Traffic south of that exit and north of the crash will be diverted back to SR-54 or southbound on the shoulder to SR-56 to exit the roadway.
