The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said in a briefing near the scene that a pedestrian was hit in the roadway by a pickup truck. The crash happened northbound and Arlington Road would be closed for some time heading in that direction.
A witness told police a vehicle in front of the pickup made a last-second turn and that the truck might not have had enough time to react.
Police said no charges have been filed at this time and everyone involved in the crash was cooperating.
JSO’s Sergeant Hungerford with the Traffic Homicide Unit said there were 175 fatal crashes within Duval County and 38 pedestrian fatalities in traffic crashes.
