A tow truck driver died Wednesday morning after he fell from an overpass to Interstate 95 where a tractor-trailer overturned in Boca Raton.

FHP tells our affiliate they don't have a timeframe for when the tractor-trailer will be removed, but say it is not in danger of falling onto I-95.

Three southbound lanes of I-95 remain closed as an investigation continues and crews try to upright the truck.

The Florida Highway Patrol said a person who fell from the overpass has died. I'm told 1 person fell over.

The site of today's crash was the same as an August 4, 2016 crash involving another semi-truck which partially went off the overpass after a driver did not realize he was in an exit lane.

State troopers said the crash happened shortly before 6am when the truck driver was trying to make a U-turn on the ramp.

This story has been corrected to say a tow truck worker was killed, not the tow truck driver.
