The driver of the 1991 Toyota van was reportedly driving south on I-275 at a high rate of speed and weaving in and out of traffic. The van driver apparently lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the guardrail at Floribraska Avenue according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

After slamming into the guardrail the van moved back onto the road and into the path of the Wal-Mart truck. The truck pushed the Toyota van until both vehicles came to a stop.

Sgt. Larry Kraus, a spokesman for the Florida Highway Patrol stated that “The van was driving erratically according to [a] witness and changed lanes in front of the tractor trailer.”

Kraus continued that at approximately 7:40 p.m. the minivan was hit in the rear by the Wal-Mart truck. One of the van’s passengers was ejected due to the impact. The other passenger had to be extracted from the van which was pinned under the trailer truck.

The van’s passengers were identified as Cliatt Adelbert, 53 years old of Tampa, FL and Victure White, 49 years old also from Tampa. Both van passengers were transported to Tampa General Hospital and it is believed they both suffered serious injuries.

The Wal-Mart truck driver was identified as James Ronald Busch, 54 years old of Nicholls, GA. Mr. Busch was not injured in the crash. However the damages to his trailer truck were estimated at about $7000.

BRADENTON, FL – There was a semi truck accident on Wednesday morning, Oct 7, 2009 at about 8:45 am in Bradenton, Florida in East Manatee County near Tampa. The tractor-trailer was hauling gravel when it crashed on an exit ramp from Interstate 75 to State road 70. The driver suffered minor injuries and had to be extricated from the semi truck’s cab.

The exit ramps at this intersection (the Trooper Jd Young Bridge) are very tight and truck drivers need to drive carefully, especially while hauling heavy loads like gravel (see inset in map below).

The truck accident spilled gravel on the State Road 70 exit ramp causing major backups and caused the exit ramp to be shut down for around two hours. The driver’s identity was not immediately released. He was taken to Lakewood Ranch Medical Center near Tampa for treatment.
