One Seriously Injured In New Year’s Eve I-10 Crash
January 1, 2018
[Updated 1/1 11 pm] At least one person was serious injured in a multiple vehicle accident involving a semi-truck on I-10 east of Davis Highway Sunday night.
The Florida Highway Patrol said 63-year old Cassandra Hutchinson of Palatka, FL, was eastbound on I-10 when her 2017 Toyota Camry crossed into another lane and collided with a Chevrolet Impala. Hutchinson’s vehicle then struck a semi-truck parked on the shoulder with emergency flasher activated due to mechanical problems. The Toyota then continued under the trailer.
It took extensive extrication efforts by firefighters to free Hutchinson from her vehicle. She was cited for failure to maintain a single lane.
There were only minor injuries reported.

Thank God nobody lost there life. And I pray whatever challenges they face are overcome with the least amount of resistance.
Just for the record, when this story was first posted it did not state the 18 wheeler was parked
Read the story people. The 18-wheeler was parked on the shoulder with emergency flasher activated due to mechanical problems.
It clearly states the 18 wheeler was parked on the side of the road.
I think that people of a certain age should be tested yearly to see if they can handle the roadways. Under 20 years and over 60 years of age would be good candidates for yearly drivers test.
@Larry – or, at least, the black car was moving much faster than the truck.
From the pictures it looks like the 18 wheeler was stopped of the edge of the road and the black car ran into the back of it.
