PORT ST. LUCIE — The drivers of two tractor-trailers were taken to a local hospital with minor injuries following a Monday night crash on Florida’s Turnpike, a St. Lucie County Fire District spokeswoman said Tuesday.

Fire District crews were called about 10:45 p.m. Monday to the incident, which occurred about a mile north of Becker Road on the northbound side, Fire District spokeswoman Catherine Chaney said.

One of the semis rolled over and another slid off the turnpike, she said.

Both drivers — a man in his mid-40s and a man in his mid-50s — wore seatbelts. Each initially declined to be taken to the hospital, but decided to go. They reportedly had minor injuries.
