Multiple Semi-Truck Crashes Block Key I-75, I-87 Corridors in New York, Florida

Several major traffic incidents involving tractor trailers have caused significant disruptions on U.S. interstates recently. On July 14, 2025, a tractor trailer rollover on the New York State Thruway near Albany blocked all northbound lanes at Exit 24 on I-87, prompting authorities to advise drivers to seek alternate routes. In Florida, a fatal crash occurred on I-75 near the I-595 interchange in Weston when an Amazon tractor trailer struck a pedestrian, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Additionally, traffic on I-75 in Ocala, Florida, was severely backed up after a semi-truck hauling an excavator damaged the Southwest 66th Street overpass, leading to lane closures and traffic diversions with the interstate expected to remain closed until at least early afternoon. This overpass has been struck multiple times in the past, including incidents in February and June 2023, highlighting a recurring safety and infrastructure concern. Drivers in the affected areas are advised to use alternate routes and prepare for delays due to these ongoing traffic disruptions.
