It was a traffic mess on I-75 yesterday morning as a trio of crashes blocked lanes. The first crash happened near mile marker 160 in Punta Gorda. A work truck carrying 80 gallons of fuel got into an accident, spilling the gas onto the roadway. A hazmat team had to close down all northbound lanes to clear the fuel. Two other crashes happened a short time later in Lee County- one southbound, one northbound- both at Bonita Beach Road.
