All lanes on southbound I-75 are now open to traffic. The NW Hwy 320 bridge has also reopened, but traffic is restricted to one lane with flagging operations in place. Once again, truck hit an overpass in Marion County. The impact caused damage to the County Road 320 bridge, and major delays on southbound I-75, according to the Florida Department of Transportation.

FDOT said the 55-year-old driver from Ocala, was driving the dump truck with the bed in a raised position when it collided with the overpass, causing significant damage. The driver of the truck was not injured.

The crash initially caused all southbound lanes on I-75 to close between County Road 234 (Exit 374) in Alachua County and County Road 318 (Exit 268) in Marion County.

FDOT said drivers should still expect delays and use caution in the area as crews continue to work on repairs.
