A 17-year-old Palm Coast driver sustained serious injuries after crashing into a semitrailer on Interstate 95 on July 26.
The semitrailer driver, a 71-year-old South Carolina man, sustained minor injuries.
The crash happened at 8:30 p.m. in the northbound lanes near mile marker 283, according to an incident report from the Florida Highway Patrol.
The 17-year-old was driving a sedan in the left lane, and the 71-year-old was driving the semitrailer in the middle lane.
The sedan passed the semitrailer and crossed the other lanes to take Exit 284, but ran onto the right shoulder and hit the guardrail.
The sedan then veered back into traffic, striking the side of the semitrailer's cab and returning to the right shoulder, where the sedan’s front bumper hit a concrete barrier.
The semitrailer ran off the road onto the left shoulder, hitting the guardrail and overturning on the left shoulder, blocking the left and middle southbound lanes.
