FHP: Jacksonville man charged in crash ending in two cars in a retention pond

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A Jacksonville man has now been charged with failing to yield at a yield sign, leading to a crash that ended with two vehicles submerged in a St. Johns County retention pond.

According to the crash report from the Florida Highway Patrol, the man was traveling south on the I-95 entrance ramp from eastbound International Golf Parkway, as another driver was coming in from the westbound side, when the man apparently failed to yield.

Troopers say that led his vehicle to hit the other vehicle, with both cars then traveling off the road, down the hill, and into a retention pond.

FHP says both vehicles became fully submerged in the water, though, thankfully, both drivers escaped without any injuries.
