Jacksonville, FL (December 22, 2018) - A four-vehicle crash on the Dames Point Bridge left one person injured on Friday, December 21st. The crash took place just before 1:00 pm.
Police say that a white tow truck, a black pickup truck, a red sedan, and a blue semi-truck were all traveling northbound near the bridge. The tow truck became disabled and stopped in the right lane. The black pickup truck swerved to avoid a collision but hit the tow truck, causing both vehicles to slide into oncoming traffic. The pickup then collided with the red sedan which collided with the semi-truck. The force of the collision caused the trailer of the semi to become dislodged and fall into the water.
