BRANDON, Fla. — Hillsborough County Fire Rescue said eight people were injured, one seriously, after a multi-vehicle crash on an I-75 southbound on-ramp Wednesday morning.

According to HCFR, a truck carrying wet soil dumped the product on the road, which created an ice-like surface and caused several vehicles to lose control.
