Patient airlifted after crash involving semi-truck on I-75 near Tuckers Grade exit in Charlotte Co.<\/p>\n

\"Mariah\"LayzaCHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n

One person was flown to the hospital as a trauma alert following a crash on I-75 near the Tuckers Grade exit in Charlotte County.<\/p>\n

According to Charlotte County Public Safety, crews responded to southbound I-75 for a crash involving a semi-truck and passenger vehicle at around 5:45 a.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n

An extrication operation was performed to free the patient, who was trapped in their vehicle for around 30 minutes, and an Aeromed helicopter landed directly on I-75 to transfer them to a hospital. The patient was flown as a trauma alert.<\/p>\n

Crews also worked to mitigate an estimated 20-40 gallons of oil that leaked following the crash. <\/p>\n
