Patrick Waughon, 39, of Alachua, died in the crash, according to a Florida Highway Patrol media release.

The release says that at about 4:50 a.m. a semi hauling a trailer and driven by Willie Hill, 43, of Valdosta, Georgia, was partially in the roadway blocking the left southbound lane of I-75.

Waughon, driving a white Ford Fiesta, hit the rear of the trailer. He died at the crash scene.

The FHP release says charges are pending in the case.

Despite the lanes being reopened, ACFR said drivers could still expect delays for a while.
