JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Police say a woman was killed in a single-vehicle crash Friday night on Jacksonville’s Northside.

Just after 7:30 p.m. the young driver, who officers described as in her 20′s, was driving southbound on Starratt Road when she collided with a concrete utility police after failing to negotiate a turn.

Witnesses told officers the Honda Civic was waving severely in the road before the crash, according to police.

The driver was taken to a nearby hospital where officers say she was pronounced dead.

In a live press conference, a JSO officer took a moment to remind Jacksonville drivers to make good decisions behind the wheel.

Officers say this crash is the city’s 69th traffic fatality in 2021.
