Starke, FL (March 24, 2019) - A truck driver from Jacksonville was hospitalized with serious injuries following a hit-and-run crash on Friday, March 22nd.
The crash, which involved two semi-trucks, occurred on Highway 301 just after 9:00 p.m. According to troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol, a tractor-trailer was traveling northbound on US-301 when it left its lane of travel and collided with another tractor-trailer. The second truck was forced into a concrete barrier following the crash. A third vehicle, identified as a Dodge Ram, was also involved in the crash, but the occupants did not suffer any injuries.
The driver of the first truck fled the scene. Troopers are looking for the suspect vehicle and believe that it has damage to its right side. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Florida Highway Patrol.
