The driver, Jeremy Nicholas Greathouse of Riverview, lost control of the truck and hit the outside concrete railing, then traveled across both lanes. The vehicle then collided with the inside concrete railing, where it stopped. The truck blocked all eastbound lanes on the bridge for two hours, according to FHP.
The contents of the Miller Lite truck were not damaged in the crash, FHP said.
