Driver hurt after garbage truck overturns on SR-417, spills debris over roadway
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - A dump truck overturned Saturday on State Route 417 in Orange County, and spilled garbage and other debris across the freeway.
The northbound lanes of SR-417, near mile marker 7, John Young Parkway Toll Plaza, were shut down for about four hours. All lanes reopened shortly before 3 p.m., FHP said in a tweet.
FHP's initial incident report said a sedan with four people inside made an improper lane change and struck the truck, which caused the driver of the truck to lose control. The truck struck a concrete wall, guard rail, and a pole before overturning, the report said.
No one in the sedan were hurt, FHP said. The driver of the truck was taken to the hospital with reportedly minor injuries.
