A semi overturned on Interstate 10 near Grand Ridge Tuesday morning, causing authorities to reroute traffic until at least 11 a.m., according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred at 4:45 a.m., when a semi occupying the left lane of the interstate failed to negotiate a right-hand curve and continued to travel straight across the median, across eastbound lanes and onto the eastbound shoulder of the roadway, according to highway patrol.
The semi then turned to the right, traveling back toward the eastbound lanes,  and overturned onto its left side.
The overturned semi, which happened to be carrying US mail, block the eastbound lanes of I10 for several hours, according to the FHP’s Live Traffic Crash & Road Condition Report.
The driver, Oscar Bussolotti, 53, of Miami, was charged with careless driving.
He and his passenger, Amiano Andres, 21, of Elmonte, Calif., were both treated for minor injuries.
