Having driven this section of road many times for spring break, and not being there to see it, this is exactly what happened...;)

Someone going 90 mph decided they needed to pass on the right but there was unbelievably an even slower moving vehicle in the right lane.

I live not far from I-75 in Tampa. We travel I-75 a lot! Your summary is spot on. I've seen many accidents over the years on I-75 involving everything from econo-boxes to RV's to horse trailers to 18-wheelers. We've been hit in the rear quarter panel twice over the years by people not paying attention drifting out of their lane. Watched an 18-wheeler cross the median and crash into the guardrail across oncoming traffic. A Suburban towing a 30~~ft travel trailer almost stopped before hitting the truck. buckled up the front of the Burb and made a V out of the hitch receiver. No injuries thankfully.
The Burb, Yukon, Tahoe isn't necessarily a bad TV.
