Nassau County, FL (August 16, 2019) - One man is dead and another is seriously hurt in a crash that took place in Nassau County. The collision occurred on County Road 108 around 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 14th.
Police say that a red Chevrolet Camaro was traveling westbound on CR 108 when the driver lost control. The Camaro veered into the opposite lanes and struck a Lincoln Town Car traveling eastbound. The driver of the Town Car, 54-year-old Wyatte Jones, was killed in the head-on collision. The Camaro driver, a 67-year-old man from Yulee, was taken to UF Health Hospital for treatment of serious injuries. There is no word on what caused the Camaro to travel over the centerline.
Troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol are investigating and charges are pending the outcome of the investigation.
We wish to extend our most sincere condolences to the family of Wyatte Jones, who died in this tragic crash in Nassau County.
Fatal car accidents take place, on average, eight times per day in Florida. Head-on crashes tend to involve some of the most serious and catastrophic injuries that we see. A head-on crash can be caused by a number of things, including distraction, impairment, speeding, medical conditions, and drowsy driving. Police will investigate this crash and ultimately determine what caused the Camaro to leave its lane of travel.
