A 75-year-old man driving the wrong way on Interstate 95 was killed late Friday in a three-vehicle crash that left two others seriously injured, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n
The crash happened just before 11 p.m. Friday on southbound I-95 near Park Avenue, troopers said.<\/p>\n
According to FHP, a van driven by the 75-year-old Jacksonville man was traveling northbound in the southbound lanes when it sideswiped an SUV driven by a 26-year-old Jacksonville woman, heading south.<\/p>\n
The SUV driver came to a controlled stop, but the van continued traveling the wrong way.<\/p>\n
The van then struck a sedan traveling south behind the SUV, driven by a 27-year-old Tampa woman. The van and sedan came to rest in the middle lane after the collision, troopers said.<\/p>\n
The van’s driver was taken to UF Health Jacksonville, where he was later pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
The sedan’s driver suffered serious injuries and was taken to UF Health. Her passenger, a 49-year-old Jacksonville man, sustained critical injuries and was also taken to UF Health.<\/p>\n
The SUV driver suffered minor injuries.<\/p>\n
All drivers and the passenger involved were wearing seatbelts, according to the report.<\/p>\n
The Florida Highway Patrol’s Troop G is investigating the crash.<\/p>\n
