MARION COUNTY, Fla. – One person was seriously injured early Thursday in a crash involving four semis on Interstate 75 in Marion County.

The crash happened just after midnight near mile marker 341.

According to a crash report, traffic in the northbound lanes was stop-and-go for construction near County Road 484.

A semi traveling north failed to stop for a stopped semi and rear-ended it, troopers said, before it continued north and collided with two other stopped semis.
