Crash Involving Overturned Semi-Truck Shuts Down I-295 North at I-10 in Jacksonville

A serious crash involving a semi-truck caused major traffic disruptions in Jacksonville on Thursday, temporarily shutting down all northbound lanes of Interstate 295 at Interstate 10, according to officials.

The crash occurred early Thursday morning, prompting emergency crews to close all northbound lanes of I-295 near the I-10 interchange while first responders worked the scene.

The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department (JFRD) confirmed that one adult was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Traffic camera footage from the Florida Department of Transportation showed that a semi-truck was involved and overturned on the interstate, contributing to the full roadway closure and extended delays for morning commuters.

The crash caused significant traffic congestion as drivers were forced to seek alternate routes. By late afternoon, officials confirmed that all lanes had reopened, restoring normal traffic flow in the area.

Crashes involving commercial tractor-trailers are often far more dangerous than standard vehicle accidents due to the size and weight of the trucks involved. When a semi-truck overturns, it can:

• Block multiple lanes of traffic
• Cause secondary collisions
• Lead to serious or fatal injuries
• Create hazardous roadway conditions

Even when injuries are initially reported as non-life-threatening, victims of truck crashes may later discover internal injuries, spinal trauma, or long-term complications.

Legal Options After a Truck Accident in Florida

Individuals injured in crashes involving semi-trucks may have legal claims beyond a typical car accident case. Liability may extend to multiple parties, including:

• The truck driver
• The trucking company
• A maintenance or repair contractor
• A cargo-loading company

Potential compensation may include:

• Medical expenses and future treatment
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Long-term rehabilitation costs

Truck accident cases often involve complex federal and state regulations, making early legal guidance critical.

Law enforcement investigations focus on traffic control and immediate safety concerns, not civil liability. An independent investigation can help preserve crucial evidence such as:

• Driver logs and electronic data
• Truck maintenance records
• Black-box data
• Surveillance or dash-cam footage

This evidence can be vital in determining fault and holding the correct parties accountable.
