Truck slams into RV on I-75 Florida
MICANOPY — "One person was killed and six others injured Friday afternoon when a tractor-trailer veered off Interstate 75 and struck a band’s RV, which had pulled off the highway with a flat tire."
"The FHP was still investigating Friday evening. So far, troopers believe that the RV and the van, which was pulling the enclosed trailer, had pulled off southbound I-75 onto the west shoulder. The van and the RV were traveling together. The RV had a flat tire, so both vehicles pulled off the highway.
The truck driver, for unknown reasons, veered off I-75 and struck the RV, which caught fire, the patrol said."
Witness interviewed said the carnage was too horrible to describe. Debris and blood all over. The pictures show nothing left of the RV.

IMHO, and I see it all the time on the road with my MH, those darn semi's are always smoking down I-75 over the speed limit. And the cops never stop them. Maybe now they will start. There should have been no reason for him to hit that RV if he was doing the speed limit and slowing down for a vehicle pulled on the shoulder. Just saying but I see it everyday I get on the interstates. Of course the truck driver survived and... "The truck driver declined comment to a reporter." :(
