A wrong-way crash on JT Butler Boulevard in Jacksonville left two people dead and two others seriously hurt Thursday night, according to authorities. The collision happened at about 9:08 p.m. on JTB west of Marsh Landing Parkway.
Authorities said a pickup truck was traveling west in the eastbound lanes when it collided head-on with an SUV. The crash involved two vehicles and occurred along a heavily traveled stretch of roadway near the Beaches area.
The SUV driver, a 73-year-old man, and a 67-year-old woman riding in the SUV were both killed in the crash. A 38-year-old woman who was also in the SUV suffered serious injuries. The 21-year-old pickup driver was also reported with serious injuries.
Available reports indicate the two people killed were wearing seatbelts in the SUV. Authorities also said the pickup driver was not wearing a seatbelt. No additional information about the conditions of the injured victims was immediately available.
Investigators have not released further details about what led to the wrong-way travel, and the crash remains under investigation. As that process continues, families often look for the official crash report, medical documentation, insurance correspondence, and any witness information that may help clarify what happened. In serious cases like this, some people also choose to speak with a Jacksonville car accident attorney before making major decisions with insurers.
