Jacksonville, FL - Passenger Dies in Car Accident on Southpoint Parkway

By: FL Accident News Blog as Blog Post

Jacksonville, FL (August 14, 2021) - One person is dead following a car accident in Jacksonville on Thursday, August 12th. The crash took place Southpoint Parkway.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, a Mazda was traveling northwest on Southpoint Parkway when the driver swerved off the road. The car went over a curb and struck a tree. The driver and his passenger, both men in their 40s, suffered critical injuries as a result of the collision. The passenger was later pronounced dead at a local hospital while the driver was still receiving treatment. Neither of the victims have been identified at this time. Neither speed nor impairment appeared to be a factor in the accident.

Police are still investigating.

Fatal car accidents in Florida take place approximately once every three hours. Nearly all Florida car accidents occur due to the negligence of at least one person or due to a mechanical malfunction in a vehicle. In many cases, innocent victims will suffer as a result of these negligent actions. Certainly, there is nothing more devastating and heartbreaking than the sudden loss of a loved one due to a tragic crash.
