By: FL Accident News Blog as Blog Post

Jacksonville, FL (October 25, 2019) - A 7-year-old child sustained critical injuries after a crash between two cars on the Buckman Bridge in Jacksonville. The crash took place on Thursday, October 24th around 11:00 p.m.

According to Florida Highway Patrol reports, a Honda Pilot became disabled and was parked in the outside lane with its emergency flashers on. Suddenly, a Jeep Wrangler came from behind and slammed into the Pilot. A 7-year-old child inside the Pilot was critically hurt and rushed to a local hospital for treatment. The Pilot driver, 40-year-old Jared Osterhage, was taken to a hospital with minor injuries as was the Jeep driver, 34-year-old John Esquierdo. Multiple lanes of the roadway were blocked after the accident.

Police have not released any additional detail and there is no word on whether charges are expected. 

Our sympathies go out to the family who is dealing with the serious injuries to the young child who was injured in this unfortunate event. Car accidents occur in Florida about 30 times each hour. Any time an accident produces injuries, there can be an overwhelming feeling of stress and uncertainty. When the crash involves a child, these feelings are magnified and cause the experience to be even worse than it already is.

Although no amount of money can ever completely heal the pain and scars that you are dealing with, you may be entitled to receive compensation that will help lift some of your financial burdens.
