Description
Efforts are ongoing to search for the driver of an 18-wheeler found half submerged early Monday morning in the Tampa Bypass Canal after losing control on Interstate 75 in Tampa.
Hillsborough County Fire Rescue crews responded to the call at 2:35 a.m. and located the truck teetering on the guard rail with the cab still out of the water, according to a news release.
The driver of the truck was traveling southbound near mile 263 before going off the road. Fifteen minutes into the incident, the front cab became submerged in the water. Multiple units are on the scene trying to save whoever is inside.
The number of people in the truck and their injuries are currently unknown, fire rescue officials said.
