I-10 West reopens at Chaffee Road following semi crash, fuel leak in Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — 5 p.m. Update: Action News Jax has received the Florida Highway Patrol crash report which says a 22-year-old woman and a 68-year-old man are both seriously injured after the crash on I-10 West and Chaffee Road.

The 22-year-old woman was traveling westbound on I-10 in a Hyundai Sonata when she switched lanes and collided with a Kia Sedona. She lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a semi-truck and a guardrail.

The collision with the Hyundai caused the 68-year-old man driving a semi-truck to lose control and overturn, spilling non-hazardous materials onto the roadway.

The 22-year-old driver and the 68-year-old driver were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Kia Sedona, a 37-year-old woman, was uninjured.

9:23 a.m. Update: Westbound lanes on I-10 at Chaffee Road have reopened following a semi crash and fuel leak. The off-ramp at I-10 East at the I-295 interchange remains closed following a separate crash.
