Florida’s Truck Accident Hotspots: Where the Risks Are Highest in 2025

Trucking accidents remain a major safety concern on Florida’s highways, and unfortunately, 2025 has been no exception. With sustained high traffic volumes, long-haul freight routes, and increasing urban congestion, several corridors across the state have become consistent hotspots for truck-related crashes. As personal injury attorneys serving accident victims across Florida, we’re seeing firsthand how dangerous some of these roads can be.

Below, we dive into the most hazardous areas for truck accidents in the state—what’s happening, why it matters, and what you should do if you or a loved one is impacted by one of these devastating events.

📍 Florida Truck Accident Hotspots (Mid-2025):

1. I-95 near SR-112/I-195 in Miami:
   This corridor just before the Miami Beach exit is among the most dangerous sections of interstate in the state. In April 2025, a tanker truck rolled over in this area, spilling fuel across the northbound lanes and leading to multiple hospitalizations and an hours-long road closure. This isn’t an isolated event; the proximity to Miami’s port and downtown makes this a heavily trafficked route for commercial transport, increasing the risk for catastrophic collisions.
2. I-95 & SR-836 (Dolphin Expressway) Interchange, Miami:
   Known for multi-vehicle, chain-reaction accidents, this interchange is especially problematic during peak traffic hours. With commercial trucks weaving between fast-moving lanes and distracted commuters, the potential for a devastating accident is high. FDOT has acknowledged the frequent crashes here, but improvements haven’t significantly curbed the danger.
3. I-75 (Alligator Alley):
   Stretching between Naples and Fort Lauderdale, Alligator Alley is one of the most notorious routes for long-haul freight. High speeds, limited exits, and the rural nature of the road create the perfect storm for deadly accidents, especially when weather conditions turn poor or driver fatigue kicks in.
4. I-4 in Orlando (particularly at I-4/408 and John Young Parkway):
   As a central artery of the state, I-4 carries a mix of commuters, tourists, and freight traffic. The interchanges near downtown Orlando have long been considered some of the most dangerous in the country. The high frequency of lane changes, merges, and construction zones means trucks often collide with smaller vehicles, resulting in serious injuries or fatalities.
5. I-10/I-295 and Jacksonville Intersections:
   Duval County continues to report high crash rates. Key trouble spots include Blanding Blvd & Youngerman Circle, Southside Blvd & Baymeadows Rd, and Atlantic Blvd & Southside Blvd. These areas have a dense mix of commercial and personal vehicles, and the influx of freight into Jacksonville’s port exacerbates the problem.

Why It Matters:
Knowing where truck accidents are likely to occur can help Florida drivers stay alert in high-risk zones. But even the most cautious driver can’t prevent the negligence of a trucking company or an exhausted driver behind the wheel of an 80,000-pound vehicle. When that negligence causes injury or death, legal representation becomes essential.

Legal Tip:
If you or someone you love has been injured in one of these trucking corridors, it’s critical to act fast. Evidence can disappear, trucking logs can be altered, and corporate insurers may try to push for quick settlements that undervalue your injuries. A Florida truck accident attorney, like the attorneys at The Morgan Law Group, can help protect your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.
