A fully loaded big rig jackknifed on Interstate 10 eastbound near the Pine Forest Road exit in Pensacola, Florida on June 1, 2026, during a period of heavy rainfall. The truck's trailer swung across all three eastbound lanes, blocking traffic completely.
The driver was not seriously injured but was taken to Baptist Hospital Pensacola for evaluation. No other vehicles were directly struck, though several motorists reported near-misses as they attempted to brake on the wet pavement.
Traffic backed up approximately seven miles before FDOT crews and Escambia County Sheriff's Office deputies could clear the scene. The cleanup took approximately four hours.
Weather-related truck accidents raise important questions about driver training and company policies. Trucking companies are required to train drivers on adverse weather operation.
