JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Police are investigating a deadly crash after a woman was found dead on Chaffee Road.

Officials found a 42-year-old woman dead in the road. The family told Action News the victim's name is Kelly Black and her dog Paco was with her at the time of the crash.

“I don’t see  how someone could hit her here and drag her all the way out to Beaver St. and not have known it," said G.C. Bostick, victim's father. "I just don’t know how I’m going to tell her mama."

JSO is continuing to investigate.
