ST. CLOUD, Fla. — A tractor-trailer driver was killed in a crash in St. Cloud Wednesday afternoon.
The crash happened on Narcoosee Road near Yukon Street and closed part of the northbound lane.
Troopers said the truck, which was carrying metal beams, was heading northbound on Narcoossee Road, in the left lane and an Osceola fire truck was responding to an emergency while heading westbound on Yukon Street.
Witnesses told troopers the fire truck was stopped at a stop sign and was about to turn right on Narcoosee Road when the driver of the semi-truck suddenly braked and the load of metal beams on the truck shifted.
The beams came loose and traveled through the cab portion of the semi-truck, crushing the driver, reports said.
The driver has not been identified and the crash is still under investigation.
