"On the morning of 11/19/2024 at approximately 2:38 AM, Troopers responded to a call about a possible traffic crash on Interstate 10 in Leon County, FL near mile marker 213, just east of the Baum Road overpass.

Troopers arrived and observed a semi truck tractor trailer (Red Kenworth) with heavy front end damage and heavy trailer damage completely disabled in the roadway blocking both westbound lanes.

It was learned that another tractor-trailer traveled into the lane of the Red Kenworth, causing the Red Kenworth to strike the other tractor-trailer's trailer. The other tractor-trailer left the scene with what is assumed to be heavy rear left trailer damage. As of 6:00 AM, the other vehicle has yet to be identified.

Parkway Wrecker is on the scene assisting in cleanup operations near mile marker 213. The outside emergency shoulder has been opened for through traffic.

This case is still under investigation."
