Jacksonville, FL (June 22, 2019) - A wrong-way crash in Jacksonville sent five people to the hospital on Saturday, June 22nd. The crash took place in the northbound lanes of I-295, near Pulaski Road.
Investigators say that the crash was a chain-reaction style collision. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 21-year-old Destiney Brown was driving a 2008 Acura TSX southbound in the northbound lanes of the highway. She collided head-on with a Volkswagen driven by 17-year-old Ismaiel Hoosain, of Jacksonville. The Acura then spun around and crashed into the front of a Chevy Equinox driven by Holly Forest-Keith, 58, of Middleburg. Hoosain, along with two of his passengers, suffered minor injuries. Forest-Keith also suffered injuries and was taken to Baptist Medical Center. Brown was seriously hurt and was transferred to UF Health Jacksonville.
An investigation continues into the crash. At this time, there is no word on what caused Brown to drive the wrong way.
