Update: I-10 lanes reopen Friday after deadly Madison County crash overnight

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - Westbound lanes on I-10 reopened Friday at 9:03 a.m. after a man died in a late-night crash on the roadway, according to Patricia Jefferson-Shaw, public information officer for Florida Highway Patrol.

A 53-year-old man driving a Ford lost control and hit a guardrail at about 11:30 p.m. Thursday, causing a tire to fall off his vehicle. The man was driving alone at the exit to Madison, near mile marker 251, when the wreck occurred, Jefferson-Shaw said.

When the driver tried to cross the interstate to grab the tire, he was killed after at least four different vehicles struck him, the PIO said.

Travelers on I-10 West in Madison County were redirected off the interstate and back to the on-ramp up the road as officials cleared the scene late Thursday and early Friday.

At least one person is dead following a late-night crash on I-10 in Madison County.

Details are scarce right now, but according to the Florida Highway Patrol’s online traffic map, the crash happened in the westbound lanes near mile marker 251 at 11:30 Thursday night.

Troopers arrived about five minutes later and labeled the incident as fatal shortly after.

Both westbound lanes were still closed to traffic well after midnight.
