Jacksonville, FL (July 14, 2018) – In Jacksonville, a serious accident took place at Jacksonville University early this morning. The incident was so serious that it killed one woman and injured a second person in the vehicle. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office came to the scene of the incident.
The accident happened around 1:30 a.m. at Jacksonville University when an off-duty officer found a car crashed into a building and two people trapped inside. The driver was identified as a woman, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Jacksonville Fire Rescue was able to get a young male passenger out of the vehicle. He received non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to the hospital to recover.
The accident apparently occurred when a vehicle was driving west on Merrill Road at a high rate of speed. The vehicle went through an intersection and did not stop at a gate. This caused it to crash into a building. Police have reported that nobody on campus was injured.
Detectives are still taking a closer look at the crash.
