A serious accident occurred Thursday morning on Interstate 75 in Pasco County when a flat-bed tractor-trailer lost control due to rain-slicked road conditions. The vehicle, operated by a 42-year-old driver from Lady Lake, jackknifed while heading southbound near mile marker 293 around 9:30 a.m. After striking a light pole, the truck ended up in a roadside ditch without causing injury to the driver. Local authorities are working to clear the scene, which likely resulted in temporary traffic disruptions for commuters traveling through the area.
