A 20-year-old St. Augustine man who suffered critical injuries in the crash was among five people hurt.<\/p>\n
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 All southbound lanes of I-95 at the State Road 9B exit have reopened after a crash involving five cars Thursday evening.<\/p>\n
Around 7 p.m., Florida Highway Patrol said a pickup truck was traveling southbound on the interstate when the driver, a 38-year-old man, “failed to slow or stop,” causing the front of the truck to rear-end the vehicle in front.<\/p>\n
The vehicle that was rear-ended was then pushed into the back of the vehicle in front of it, FHP said.<\/p>\n
After the pickup truck rear-ended the vehicle in front of it, troopers said the truck hit the back of another vehicle.<\/p>\n
A vehicle traveling behind the pickup truck was unable to stop, FHP said, causing it to rear-end the truck.<\/p>\n
A Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department spokesperson told First Coast News one adult was transported from the scene with non-life-threatening injuries. Because the crash happened at the Duval-St. Johns County line, their fire department also responded. JFRD said St. Johns County Fire Rescue transported two adults with non-life-threatening injuries, and another with traumatic injuries, who was flown to a hospital.<\/p>\n
According to FHP, the driver of the pickup truck suffered minor injuries. The driver of the vehicle that was initially rear-ended, a 20-year-old man from St. Augustine, suffered critical injuries. Two other drivers involved in the crash suffered minor injuries.<\/p>\n
The crash caused all southbound traffic in the area to be diverted onto State Road 9B for nearly seven hours.<\/p>\n
