JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Three people were killed and multiple others injured in a four-car crash on Atlantic Boulevard, over Little Pottsburg Creek, Sunday afternoon, according to police.<\/p>\n
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office says the crash happened at around 12:30 p.m., when a westbound Infinity sedan driven by a teenager crossed over a median and into oncoming traffic.<\/p>\n
Three other vehicles heading eastbound \u2014 two SUVs and a sedan \u2014 crashed as a result.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two of the cars caught fire, according to a Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department spokesperson. Atlantic Boulevard was shut down from Empire Point to University Boulevard for several hours as police and fire rescue crews responded to the scene.<\/p>\n
All three people in one of the SUVs died on scene, JSO says. Two men in the other SUV suffered life-threatening injuries, while a woman in her 50s driving the eastbound sedan and the teen driver were transported to a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
“Traffic Homicide Investigators are piecing together evidence at the crash scene to determine the sequence of events,” JSO said Sunday.<\/p>\n
