The four-vehicle crash happened about 6:30 p.m. at mile marker 18, according to FHP Sgt. Kim Montes.

His truck collided with the back of a Honda sedan driven by Lester Balibalos, 30, of Orlando.
The truck began to flip, pushing Balibalos’ car into the back of a Lexus, which then crashed into the back of a BMW, troopers said.
Balibalos was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he died.
Otero and the other drivers had minor injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.
Troopers say charges are pending against Otero.
