Semi-driver hurt in accident
A two-vehicle crash involving a tractor-trailer on southbound Interstate 95 caused traffic delays in Martin County on Tuesday morning.
The wreck occurred at mile marker 93.5 near Hobe Sound around 7:50 a.m.
The driver of the semi, Christopher White, 34, of Eatonton, Ga., was traveling southbound on I-95 in the center lane, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Meanwhile, Melissa Burkhardt McGraw, 28, of Loxahatchee, Fla., was traveling south in a Jeep Cherokee in the inside lane next to the semi.
FHP said White veered to the left, side-swiping McGraw's car. Both vehicles ran off the road to the left, causing the semi to overturn.
When police arrived, the tractor-trailer was overturned on its roof facing a northwesterly direction.
McGraw's vehicle was stopped in the median facing the southwest. She was not hurt, but White suffered minor injuries and was taken to Martin Hospital South.
