TAMPA -- A morning crash shut down northbound lanes of the connector between Interstate 4 and the Selmon Expressway toll road Thursday.
The Florida Highway Patrol says a black Dodge pickup traveling north, then made a U-Turn and began driving the wrong way in the northbound lanes. It then collided with a concrete wall, split in half and caught fire.
The driver was taken to a hospital with critical injuries. As of mid-morning, FHP expects the road to be closed for a while longer.
