JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A 13-year-old boy was killed in a crash on U.S. 1 near Interstate 95 on Wednesday night.

The Florida Highway Patrol said a Chevy Monte Carlo, driven by 42-year-old Dylan Campbell Iszard of Jacksonville, was in the left turn lane on U.S. 1 southbound.

The Monte Carlo attempted to cross U.S. 1 to the I-95 northbound ramp and pulled out in front of a Jeep Cherokee, FHP said.

The Cherokee, driven by a 17-year-old girl from Altoona, Alabama, hit the Monte Carlo in the left lane of U.S. 1 northbound and both vehicles blocked all lanes of U.S. 1 northbound.

All the occupants of the Monte Carlo, including a 13-year-old boy and an 11-year-old boy from Jacksonville, were taken to UF Health Jacksonville with serious injuries. The 13-year-old boy, identified by FHP as Dylan Iszard, died at the hospital as a result of his injuries.

The 17-year-old girl and a 2-year-old boy, who was also in the Jeep Cherokee, were taken to UF Health with minor injuries.

FHP said the crash shut down the road for four hours and is still under investigation.
