First reports from tipsters tell us the road on Baseline Blvd near CR90 is completely blocked in northeast Jasper County.

“Please avoid Baseline Boulevard and CR 90. There is a Tractor trailer on its side blocking the road. It will take several hours for the road to be cleared.” – Jasper Fire and Rescue
He also tells us the cargo was 44,000 pounds of hard seltzer, “Vizzy” alcoholic drink. As the tractor and trailer overturned the top of the trailer peeled off spilling all of the contents onto the roadway, completely blocking the road for nearly five hours.
