Seriously - not a good time to be on the road anywhere near #Nassau on I-95, SR-200, US-17, or CR-108 https://t.co/M1r14S9iPK

The Florida Highway Patrol says the box truck driver was heading southbound, when he lost control, hit the median guardrail, and crossed in to northbound traffic. The crash report says he then collided with the semi, which was heading northbound.
The driver of the box truck suffered serious injuries, and the drive of the semi was pronounced dead on the scene.
The deceased driver is a 54-year-old from Plant City, but his identity is being withheld pending notification to his family.
