TRAFFIC: Find Alternate Routes, Check Conditions

---

Florida Highway Patrol troopers will be looking for truckers swerving in and out of traffic and driving too fast. FHP said that's what is behind some of the tractor trailer accidents causing major headaches for other drivers on the road and often resulting in deaths.

FHP said they would be out over the next two days targeting truck drivers.

"We want to find those people and stop them before a crash happens," said Kim Miller of the Florida Highway Patrol.

Skywitness captured an accident near Clermont a few weeks ago where a semi-truck and a dump truck were involved in an accident with a motorcycle. The driver of the motorcycle was killed. FHP reports that eight-percent of accidents along the highway involve large trucks.

They also said semis are involved in 13-percent of deadly accidents.

"We're getting a lot of complaints from the public and we're also seeing a lot of crashes from some of these drivers who are not following the rules," Miller added.

Troopers said the biggest problem is speeding and swerving in and out of traffic. But they said truck drivers also continue to follow other vehicles too closely. And if they don't end up crashing, they end up jack-knifing or rolling over and causing major backups on the highway.

Troopers will also be looking for tractor trailer drivers that don't follow signs that can be seen posted mostly in rural areas. Outside the city, trucks are not allowed to drive in the left lane.
