All eastbound lanes on the Arlington Expressway are reportedly closed.<\/p>\n
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 All eastbound lanes on the Mathews Bridge are currently closed due to a reported fatal motorcycleaccident, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office says.<\/p>\n
JSO reports that at around 10 a.m. on Tuesday, a man in his early 30s was riding his motorcycle in the eastbound lanes. Witnesses told officers that he was traveling upwards of 100 mph.<\/p>\n
At some point, JSO says that the man was either traveling between lanes or switching lanes when he had side-swiped the passenger side of a Dodge Charger in the left-hand lane, before ultimately striking the rear of a Ford F-150 in the right-hand lane. Jacksonville Fire and Rescue responded on scene, where they reported that the motorcyclist died at the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
JSO says that lanes will remain closed until their on-scene investigation is complete.<\/p>\n
This is the 26th traffic death in 2026 in Duval County and the seventh to include a motorcyclist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All eastbound lanes on the Arlington Expressway are reportedly closed.
