ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — The westbound lanes of the Central Florida Parkway remain closed Tuesday morning following a crash that sent a FedEx trailer loaded with packages off Interstate 4 and onto the parkway.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers said the FedEx truck, pulling two trailers, was traveling east on I-4 when the driver changed lanes, colliding with a Toyota Camry.

After striking the car, the driver of the truck lost control. The truck hit a guardrail and overturned.

Troopers said the first trailer broke apart. The second trailer came loose and went off the overpass and onto Central Florida Parkway.

Two other vehicles suffered minor damage when they were struck by debris from the crash.

Troopers said the driver of the truck, Salvatore Anzelone, 45, of Palmetto suffered minor injuries in the crash. He was ticketed for failure to maintain a single lane, troopers said.

There were no other injuries in the incident.

"Our first concern is for the well-being of the driver and anyone else who may have been involved in last night's accident," said Jim Masilak, a FedEx spokesman. "We have processes in place to retrieve packages and contact customers."

Some lanes of eastbound I-4 were closed for several hours while the scene was cleared.

Crews are still working to remove the trailor from the roadway.
