Deadly crash at E. Beltway and UNF Drive

Southbound lanes reopen five hours after collision.

28-year-old woman killed in crash on E. Beltway near Town Center

Jacksonville, Fl — A deadly crash investigation had all southbound lanes of I-295 blocked at UNF Drive, just before JTB, early this morning around 3:45.

Florida Highway Patrol says a silver sedan crashed into a guardrail in front of the entrance ramp onto I-295 South. The car spun, blocking the on-ramp from Town Center Parkway. The driver got out of the car to stand on the passenger side, when another car going up the ramp crashed into her.

The 28-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene, while the driver of the other car, a silver SUV, was transported to Memorial Hospital.

Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash. Southbound lanes reopened after being closed for roughly five hours.
