Witness Nicholas Heine told WPTV that there was a previous wreck in the area and a trooper stopped to investigate. The tanker truck then came along later and caused a second crash, hitting the trooper’s cruiser, Heine said.
He said part of the tanker was stuck on top of the guardrail.
Heine said the trooper was walking around after the crash but was taken to a hospital.
WPTV is working to contact the FHP for more information on the crash.
Three lanes were closed for more than three hours, but all lanes were back open just before 11:30 p.m.
Road conditions deteriorated as Hurricane Nicole brought tropical downpours across the area. Drives are urged to stay off the road.
