At least seven people were killed and seven others were injured Thursday in a multivehicle crash on Interstate 75 near Gainesville, Florida, investigators said. The Florida Highway Patrol said two tractor-trailer rigs and two passenger vehicles were involved in the crash, which unfolded about a mile south of Alachua. Alachua County Fire Rescue reported that flames ignited after 50 gallons of diesel fuel spilled on the highway. "Two semis were involved and on both of them at least the trailer part has burned," Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Patrick Riordan told The Gainesville Sun. Debris including personal property and vehicle parts was scattered across the road, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
