A 19-year-old Jacksonville man was killed when his car was struck head on in a five-car crash on I-95 in northern Flagler County on Thursday night, Feb. 13, according to a Florida Highway Patrol press release.
The crash occurred at 10:41 p.m. The driver of the sedan was traveling north at mile marker 291, about two miles south of the Matanzas Woods Parkway exit. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash began when a 24-year-old Jacksonville man's car traveling north ran off the highway to the left then reentered traffic with his right front striking the left rear of the 19-year-old man's car. The 19-year-old lost control of his vehicle and sideswiped a third sedan, rotating his car counterclockwise and facing south in the northbound lanes. His car was then struck head on by a pickup truck, driven by a 60-year-old Hialeah man.
A fifth vehicle suffered residual crash damage. The driver of the first vehicle and the driver of the pickup truck suffered minor injuries. No one else involved in the crash suffered injuries, including the driver and 11-year-old passenger in the third car, who are residents of St. Augustine.
The driver who was killed was not wearing a seatbelt, according to the press release.
