JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Two teens are dead after a multiple-vehicle crash near Edgewood and Smyrna on Jacksonville\u2019s northside.<\/p>\n
The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office says a Hispanic man in his fifties was driving a Dodge 3500 pickup truck eastbound on Edgewood Ave. His truck was towing a large steel trailer with two vehicles. The Dodge hit the back of a Toyota Camry, and the Camry hit the back of a Ford Ranger. The Dodge pushed the Camry through the intersection before coming to rest on top of the Camry.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Camry had to be extracted, and the two teens inside were found dead.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like if it had gone through a compactor, it was really bad,\u201d one neighbor told Action News Jax. This neighbor did not want to be identified but says the scene left her in disbelief.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was trying to make a left on Edgewood by where the crash was, but there was crime scene tape, and the police were blocking it off, and there was like a tow truck, and they were picking up the cars that were involved in the wreck,\u201d the neighbor said.<\/p>\n
JSO says the crash happened around 11:15 a.m. and Action News Jax crews watched the scene clear just before 5 p.m. The Ford driver is expected to survive. The Dodge driver who initiated the crash is cooperating with traffic homicide investigators.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really horrible; it\u2019s really sad that it was teenagers that were involved. I wish that everybody would just be safe, it is the summertime,\u201d the neighbor said. \u201cThe state of the car, it was on a tow truck when I got there, and it was just like hard to believe that anybody would survive a crash like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
