Traffic is slow going on Interstate 75 just south of the I-275 apex because of a deadly crash.

PALMETTO, Fla. -- One person was killed in a crash on Interstate 75 near I-275 in Manatee County.

The incident, apparently involving a semi-truck that crashed into the I-275 on-ramp, happened around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Law enforcement will reopen right lane on northbound I-75 once the wrecker removes the truck. In addition, the ramp to I-275 has also reopened after being closed for several hours.

Drivers are advised to use U.S. 41 to get onto northbound I-275 toward the Sunshine Skyway Bridge instead.
