Ponte Vedra, FL (May 22, 2019) - A 16-year-old boy suffered life-threatening injuries after he was hit by a pickup truck on State Road A1A on Wednesday, May 22nd. The crash took place just before 6:00 a.m. in the southbound lanes of the roadway.
Zander Laurin was jogging in the bicycle lane when he was struck by a Toyota Tundra. The driver of the Tundra, 53-year-old Keith Jones, had drifted out of his lane of travel prior to the crash before striking Laurin. Jones remained at the scene and spoke with authorities following the collision. Laurin was airlifted to UF Health in Jacksonville with life-threatening injuries.
Police are still investigating. The highway was shut down following the crash but later reopened.
