JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A woman in her mid-50s died Friday morning after her car crashed into the fence as she was leaving a Westside apartment complex, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
JSO said the call came in just before 7 a.m. at the Westwood Apartments on Lane Avenue South, near Normandy Boulevard.
They said it appeared a black SUV had crashed into the fence as it was exiting. Because of the low-speed impact that left minimal damage to the vehicle, JSO says it’s possible the woman suffered a medical emergency.
She died at the hospital.
JSO said the Medical Examiner’s Office will need to determine her exact cause of death.
If the death is determined to be a traffic fatality, it would be No. 111 in Duval County this year.
Because of the uncertain nature of the incident, police are asking anyone who might have witnessed the SUV crashing into the fence to call the JSO non-emergency number at 904-630-0500.
