An elderly woman was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver Saturday night while crossing the street in Lackawanna. <\/p>\n
According to JSO, the woman was crossing McDuff South near Rexford Street around 9:15 p.m. when she was hit. She died at the hospital. <\/p>\n
JSO said the driver of the car didn\u2019t stop and drove north. <\/p>\n
JSO did not immediately have a description of the make or model of the vehicle involved. <\/p>\n
JSO is asking anyone with information to come forward while it works on getting surveillance video. <\/p>\n
JSO is also asking the driver to turn themselves in. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe sooner you contact the sheriff\u2019s office and turn yourself in the better,\u201d a JSO spokesperson said. <\/p>\n
The death marks the 114th traffic fatality this year. A total of 27 pedestrians have been killed in 2026. At the same time last year, that number was 18. <\/p>\n
The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office is asking anyone who witnessed the incident or has direct information about the hit-and-run vehicle or driver to call 630-0500, submit an online crime tip (JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org) or contact First Coast CrimeStoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS where the caller may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward.<\/p>\n
