The GSP added that there were minor reported injuries for Mr. Grizzle, and he was cited for Failure to Maintain Lane. As of 9:30 a.m., the HCSO reported that all travel lanes have re-opened, while eyewitness accounts say cleanup efforts on nearby property and the road shoulder continued through the late morning hours…
