Jacksonville, FL (December 7, 2018) - A Jacksonville man died in a head-on crash that took place on Wednesday, December 5th.
59-year-old Marshall Waldeck was traveling on 103rd Street around 6:05 pm when he crossed the center line and struck another vehicle head-on. Waldeck was transported to a nearby hospital where he later was pronounced dead. The driver and an 8-year-old passenger in the other vehicle were seriously injured. Neighbors who witnessed the crash described the dangers of the road, saying it becomes "really hectic" at certain times.
The Florida Highway Patrol is looking into this accident and officials have not determined a cause at this time.
A fatal accident will be reported about every three hours in Florida. Head-on crashes are a major cause of many serious and fatal crashes. A head-on collision typically happens at high speed and gives the other driver little time to avoid the accident, thus causing more damage and, unfortunately, more frequent loss of life.
