Jacksonville, FL — A JTA bus overturned on I-10 near Lenox Avenue on Tuesday evening as storms pushed through. The right and center eastbound lanes of I-10 were blocked.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, only the driver was on the bus at the time of the crash. The driver was taken to a hospital, but the driver’s injuries are not serious.

PER DAVID CAWTON (JTA): 

“At around 6:30 p.m., a JTA bus operator was headed back to Myrtle Avenue Operations Campus following the end of their route. The bus was heading East Bound on Interstate-10 by Lennox Ave during that heavy period of rain. We believe the bus hydroplaned, hit the guard rail and overturned. No passengers were on board. The driver was transported to the hospital with minor injuries. The accident is under investigation.”
