Wilfredo Reveron, like many others from the I-4 pile up, received a citation for careless driving. He and his wife are outraged. He got stuck in a mini pile up behind the larger pileup involving mainly tractor trailers.Reveron’s car got hit on both sides. After it was over, Reveron and many of the folks involved couldn't go anywhere because their cars were damaged and Florida Highway Patrol troopers wouldn't release them until they gave their accounts. In the meantime, according to Reveron, an FHP trooper was going around giving tickets. Reveron called his wife and told her what was going on. She urged him to talk to the trooper, but according to Reveron the trooper issued him a citation as well as citations to many others. Reveron said the trooper told him that everyone was getting a ticket. Reveron said he told the trooper it was foggy and smoky and it wasn't his fault that he was hit but Reveron said the trooper told him he’d have to go to court to argue his case.According to troopers, drivers involved in the non-fatal accidents were cited for careless driving. The theory being they should have slowed down as visibility deteriorated.
