The Florida Highway Patrol said that the semi-truck was in the right lane and a Chrysler minivan was in the left lane when the truck tried to make a U-turn at a turnaround path. The path had a “no U-turn” sign posted, which said “official use only.” Similar paths can be found across the state and are meant to be used only by emergency vehicles.

Three people – two men and a woman – were killed in Florida after a semi-truck driver hauling a trailer made an illegal U-Turn on the Florida Turnpike, locked all lanes, and collided with a minivan, according to officials.
