WILDWOOD, Fla.<\/strong> – <\/span>A massive pileup involving several tractor-trailers left one man dead and another seriously injured on I-75 in Sumter County late Monday night.<\/p>

Fatal pileup on I-75<\/strong><\/h2>

What we know:<\/p>

<\/div>

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, everything began when a tractor-trailer collided with a Ford F350 towing a motorhome near Wildwood around 10:20 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>

Troopers said the impact destroyed the motorhome and left debris scattered across every southbound lane. A Honda CRV then struck that debris and became disabled, according to FHP.<\/p>

Traffic began to slow or stop because of the first wreck. At 11:34 p.m., troopers said a fourth tractor-trailer failed to slow down and slammed into another semi-truck. This started a chain reaction involving two more tractor-trailers, according to FHP.<\/p>

Trooper said the driver of the first truck in the second crash, a 60-year-old man from Georgia, was thrown from his vehicle. He died at a hospital from his injuries. The driver of the second truck, according to FHP, suffered serious injuries and is being treated at an area hospital.<\/p>

Investigation into the crash<\/strong><\/h2>

What we don’t know:<\/p>

Troopers have not yet released the names of the drivers involved in the fatal collision. It is also unclear if any of the drivers from the first crash will face charges for the initial wreck that caused the traffic to stop.<\/p>

Southbound traffic impact<\/strong><\/h2>

By the numbers:<\/p>

Four tractor-trailers were involved in the fatal second crash, while three vehicles were involved in the initial accident.\u00a0<\/p>

Current road conditions<\/strong><\/h2>

Southbound lanes were shut down at the 329 milepost to redirect drivers to SR-44. The highway remained closed for several hours, but reopened around noon on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>
