Why was the CR 475 overpass closed over I-75 Monday morning?
WILDWOOD — A highway overpass is undergoing repairs because of a collision that gridlocked traffic on Monday morning, March 17. County Road 475 is one of the most scenic two-lane highways running north and south through Marion and Sumter counties, past farms and horse ranches. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a dump truck driver inadvertently left the bed in a raised position while passing under the CR-475 overpass, and the truck bed struck the overpass. Why would that happen? A raised dump truck bed increases the height and center of gravity of the vehicle, and uneven terrain or an improperly aligned truck can cause the vehicle to tip over, according to the National Safety Council (NSC). That's what happened in the northbound lanes of I-75 in Sumter County at 1:20 a.m. A 56-year-old Ocala man was driving northbound on I-75 near the 333.5 milepost, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The bed of his dump truck sheared off and became lodged under the overpass while the truck itself continued a few hundred feet to its final rest just north of the impact point. No injuries were reported by the driver. Florida Department of Transportation engineers arrived to inspect the overpass, and the highway was cleared at around 8:15 a.m. The FHP told the Daily Commercial that the dump truck driver was charged with careless driving. Motorists detoured using U.S. 301 to County Road 484 to drive east-west. Also in the news: Behind on paying fines? Get help through Lake County's Operation Green Light "We don't have a timeline for the repairs yet," a spokesperson for FDOT told the Daily Commercial. "The repairs will be designed, then constructed, and that process typically takes weeks or months depending on the extent of the damage. In the meantime, it's safe to use the overpass, and both lanes are open. The shoulder is closed at this time." Florida is among the three states with the most serious truck accidents, according to the National Safety Council (NSC). Dump truck accidents are not uncommon in Florida because they can cause both primary and secondary accidents. In January, a woman was killed in a head-on crash involving a dump truck in Lake County, the Florida Highway Patrol reported. The crash happened at the intersection of County Road 439 and County Road 44A. A dump truck driver, a Leesburg man, 28, was not injured, but the 23-year-old Altoona woman driving the Toyota was transported to Waterman Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. "Despite the massive size and weight, dump trucks are used to make repeated trips between construction sites, suppliers and waste drop-off points," a spokesperson at Ansara Law Group explained in a 2021 report. "Repeated trips increase the potential for collisions. Drivers are often under significant pressure to get the job done, leading to dangerous actions behind the wheel, including speed, distraction, and aggressive driving."

Northeast Florida's Clerk of Courts helping people get back on the road with Operation Green Light
The Northeast Florida's Clerk of Courts is helping those with suspended driver's licenses to get back on the road, and save some money in the process, with Operation Green Light. During the money-saving event, Clerk of Court offices will waive certain fees for residents with unpaid tickets or outstanding court fees looking to reinstate their driver's licenses. The Clerk of Courts says their Northeast Florida offices will come together for two weeks to, " help drivers save money, to reduce their financial stress, and to get those drivers back on the road with a legal driver license.' In a statement, the Clerk of Courts says, 'Operation Green Light efforts last year in Northeast Florida represented nearly 800 cases paid in full, which is a true win-win for all involved. Better yet, the full payment of these cases during that event resulted in more than 730 people whose driver license was made eligible for reinstatement at a lower cost, benefiting communities across the First Coast.' The office adds that they have the same goal this year. Operation Green Light will happen from March 31 through April 4 and from April 7 to April 11 from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. at the Clerk of Court offices in Baker, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, Putnam, St. Johns counties. If you have unpaid tickets or court fees, you can contact the Clerk of Court office in the respective county for more information and to receive an advanced estimate on your reduced total amount due. You can find more information on the event here.
