BROOKSVILLE – An early morning hit and run crash closed northbound lanes of I-75 and injured two people.
Officials say three vehicles, including a semi-tractor-trailer were involved in a collision at mile marker 297 but one of the vehicles fled the scene after leaving a path of destruction.
According to reports, just before 2:00 a.m. an unknown vehicle type was traveling northbound in the inside lane, when the driver changed lanes and struck a Honda Civic. The Honda rotated and stopped in the middle of I-75. The driver of the Semi veered left to avoid a collision but he still struck the Honda, then jackknifed and collided with a guardrail. The vehicle that caused the crash fled the area.
The driver of the Honda, 18-year-old Robert Abreu of Brooksville, and the truck driver, 66-year-old David Stalvey of Homerville, Georgia, both suffered minor injuries and were transported locally for evaluation.
A Hazmat crew was dispatched to the scene, after officials say 40 to 60 gallons of diesel fuel spilled onto the highway. I-75 was closed for several hours while crews cleared debris and repaired damage to the roadway.
Officials say the only description of the vehicle is a white passenger car.

Ahhhh SHUT Up , Lena, nobody pulled your chain.
EITHER DRUNK OR WRONG WAY DRIVER.
Or illegal alien.
Could it have been a white 2 door focus?
Cindy, if you know of one with damage that might fit please call leo. I’m sure you can do it anonymously. Better to be safe & have it checked into than to let someone get away with this carnage.
Ok I’m not sure if it posted the first comment so if this is a repeat then sorry.
I must have come on that car after it spun out. It was just sitting there it didn’t appear to have any damage. Then again it was dark so I cannot be certain. However the white car I came up on did not have any damage from what I saw. In fact it seemed like he may have been on the phone with emergency personnel. Cause shortly after is when I herd the sirens. And I really am not sure that any info I have would make a difference.
install dash cams. i have full 360 degree with HD. best money ive spent on that vehicle. high definition license plates. they are dirt cheap.
Thank God no one was killed or seriously injured. Hope the POS coward is caught…
My daddy was the truck driver and I’m just thankful he was watching the road because this could have definitely ended another way. I’m glad that young man got to go home to his family too!
