BRADENTON, Fla. — An overturned orange juice truck on northbound 9th St E near 13th Ave E caused significant traffic disruptions Tuesday morning, according to the Bradenton Police Department (BPD).

The accident resulted in orange juice leaking from the vehicle, prompting authorities to close northbound lanes and detour traffic.
