Tanker Crash Closes I-75, U.S. 301 | theledger.com | The Ledger | Lakeland, FL#



Over 100k cars pass through there per day, and they've had to close it down...

Looks like a T&T at BMP is out of the question tonight

Southbound will be closed a while (days? weeks?), but I think they said northbound is open. So you'll have to detour to get there, but you can take I-75 back home.

I saw a HUGE cloud of weird black smoke about 5pm. I was hoping it was a feild burnoff. I live 2 miles from there.

Hmmm, I drove I-75 southbound this morning past I-4 to MLK and didn't see anything unusual. I hadn't even heard about the accident until I was reading the paper when I got to work.
