MARION COUNTY, Fla. – A tornado that touched down on Interstate 75 Monday morning caused a portable building to fly off the tractor trailer it was on and hit a truck before it landed on the other side of the interstate, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The semi driver was traveling southbound on I-75 in Marion County near mile marker 340 around 10:15 a.m. when the strong winds lifted the 36-foot building off his trailer.
A portion of the structure then hit the rear of Ford F-150 that was traveling in the inside southbound lane as it flew east over the northbound lanes and landed on the east grass shoulder in multiple pieces.
