All lanes of Interstate 95 in St. Johns County were closed due to a semi-truck overturning on the roadway. The incident brought traffic to a standstill in the area, which is located approximately 8 miles west of Nocatee.

The blockage affected the entire highway in the affected section, preventing vehicles from passing through the zone where the commercial vehicle came to rest. Specific details regarding the cause of the crash, the condition of the driver, or the time the incident occurred were not provided in the initial reports.

Emergency responders were likely present at the scene to manage the situation and clear the debris, though the specific agencies involved were not named. The closure of all lanes indicates a significant obstruction that required full road shutdowns to ensure safety during the removal process.

Further information regarding the timeline for reopening the highway or the status of the cargo being transported by the semi-truck was not yet clear at the time of this report.
