The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a deadly crash between a motorcyclist and a commercial truck on Interstate 75 southbound, near exit 138, MLK Jr. Blvd., which caused major delays for commuters.

FHP reported that the motorcyclist died at the scene, and the crash was reported to them at around 6 a.m., Wednesday.

According to FHP, the motorcyclist was driving on I-75 and collided with the rear end of the commercial truck.

Traffic had been brought to a standstill for awhile and then only the left lane of I-75 was closed, but traffic back-ups still spanned up to mile marker 142, creating around five miles of traffic.

All lanes have since reopened.

The details of the crash are currently being investigated.
