Seven Killed in Fiery Crash on I-75 in Alachua County [video]

The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) reported that seven people have been killed in a crash in the southbound lanes of I-75 in Alachua County.

The crash occurred at approximately 3:42 p.m. on Thursday, January 3, 2018.

The crash involved 2 tractor trailers, a passenger van, and a mid sized sedan.

Additional victims were transported to local hospitals including some in critical condition.

Up until about 8 p.m., all traffic on I-75 was being diverted due to the large amount of personal property, vehicle parts, and burnt vehicles on the roadway. At 8 p.m., all northbound lanes have been reopened.

The crash occurred between milemarker 393 and 394 north of Gainesville (just north of NW 39th Avenue).

It has been almost 13 years since the inception of IONTB. Our operating expenses are not huge by any stretch of imagination but funds are necessary for our continued survival.  We are asking for a one time contribution or contribution on a monthly basis to help continue IONTB to flourish and enhance the coverage of news in the Tampa Bay area. Think of it as just giving up just a couple of your favorite coffee drinks each month.
