Fleming Island, FL (November 13, 2018) - A 5 year old child was seriously hurt following a crash that occurred on Monday, November 13th in Fleming Island. The crash took place on County Road 220.
According to reports from the Florida Highway Patrol, an SUV attempted to turn into the eastbound lanes of CR 220 when it collided with a Jeep that was heading westbound on the same road. The girl was a passenger in the Jeep at the time of the crash. She was rushed to Baptist Hospital in Jacksonville and listed in critical but stable condition. A 6 year old boy in the Jeep along with the driver also suffered minor injuries.
The SUV driver is expected to be cited for violation of the right-of-way.
Florida is no stranger to car accidents. Each year, approximately 400,000 crashes are reported across our state. Unfortunately, many crashes cannot be avoided by their victims. In this case, the children and driver of the Jeep were hurt because a car suddenly turned in front of them, likely making the crash unavoidable. We hope that all involved have a full recovery from their injuries.
