A close call on I-75

Jasper man escapes injury when big rig overturns

A 20-year-old Jasper man was charged with “speed too fast for conditions” in a June 4 accident on I-75, the Florida Highway Patrol said. According to FHP reports, Philip A. Lee Jr., of Jasper, was northbound on I-75 when he lost control of his vehicle and veered into the path of a semi tractor-trailer.

The truck’s driver, Terry Reed of Lithonia, Ga., took evasive action and traveled onto the northbound shoulder, reports show. The semi then overturned, said FHP, narrowly missing Lee.

No serious injuries were reported.
