JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 A man in his early 20s died early Wednesday morning when his Nissan Rogue crashed through a barricade at the dead end of Pine Acres Road south of I-295 in Loretto, police said.<\/p>\n
Sgt. Robert Hungerford with the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office Traffic Homicide Unit said the crash was reported around 3:10 a.m., and the man died at the scene.<\/p>\n
Hungerford said the SUV was headed north on Pine Acres Road, which dead ends at I-295, but the vehicle did not stop and ran through the metal barricade before slamming into a concrete barrier wall that separates I-295 from the Cameron Crossing neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Hungerford said the lower part of the wall was severely damaged, causing the upper part of the wall to fall onto the front of the SUV.<\/p>\n
Hungerford said it\u2019s possible darkness and rain were a factor in the crash, but there are no immediate signs of impairment, although tests are ongoing.<\/p>\n
No one else was in the vehicle, Hungerford said, and because of the location, no traffic was affected.<\/p>\n
This was the 59th traffic fatality in Duval County this year.<\/p>\n
