The wreck occurred in the southbound lanes at about 5:35 a.m. near Northlake Boulevard.

Chopper 5 flew over the scene at 5:50 a.m. and spotted a lot of debris on the road related to the wreck.  

Because of the debris, some northbound lanes had to be closed during the cleanup. 

There was heavy damage to the front of the semi. The trailer of the semi was ripped open, causing the contents to spill onto the road.

The Florida Highway Patrol and clean-up crews were at the scene much of the morning using a Bobcat to clean up the mess.

It's unclear if the driver was hurt.

Traffic was back to normal by midday.
