Woman killed after car crashes into back of semi-truck in North Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A woman was killed Tuesday in a crash involving a car and a semi-truck on Interstate 295.

The Florida Highway Patrol said 30-year-old Ashley Galan of Keystone Heights was driving a 2015 Nissan Altima on I-295 north near Duval Road around 1 p.m.

FHP said a semi-truck slowed down due to traffic congestion and Galan’s vehicle did not, causing the Altima to hit the rear of the semi-truck and become trapped underneath it.

Galan was killed in the crash, which is still being investigated by FHP.
