Two Die In Rollover (GRAPHIC)

This crash happened on I-75 Northbound just short of the 428 mile marker. I was sitting on my porch having my first cup of coffee when I thought I heard a tire blow on I-75, which is not uncommon. Suddenly there was another bang that was followed up with terrible crashing sounds. The noise of that vehicle rolling was a sound I shall never forget. I could not see the accident because of the tree line. Before calling 911, I went upstairs so I could tell them what they had. Before I got upstairs the call came out over the scanner.

Columbia County Fire, E.M.S., Sheriffs Office, Lake City P.D. and the Florida Highway Patrol were on scene so fast it was unreal. They did an amazing job and did everything they could to treat the victims. Make sure you thank them all for what they do.

Editors Note**There were no bodies in the vehicle when these pictures were taken.**

18 Wheeler Rolls On It's Side Sunday Morning

A truck driver lost control of his 18 wheeler Sunday around 2:30 A.M. when he approached a slower moving vehicle. The truck driver, who was unnamed, hit the guardrail then flipped the truck on its side leaving it in a jack-knifed position. The truck came to rest blocking all three lanes of the North bound side of I-75. The driver is okay. Two lanes were reopened around 5:30 A.M..

** yes, I missed the "great pictures". I was sleeping at 2:30 in the morning! I went to bed at 2:00 A.M. I have to sleep sometime.
your photographer,

Two Crashes Injure Four. Two Were Toddlers

When I first approached the scene of the rollover, I already heard someone was trapped. I also knew that two little ones were out of the car and were being treated. I'm very happy to say that all the occupants were wearing seat belts. This may have averted a very tragic ending.
