Fruit Cove, FL (December 27, 2019) – On Thursday afternoon, a 24-year-old man from Jacksonville was killed following a fatal motorcycle collision at a local intersection.

The 24-year-old has since been identified as John Johnson from Jacksonville. He was killed in the crash around 3:05 p.m. when he was traveling southbound behind some vehicles when traffic slowed so that a driver could make a left turn from Braaschville Road onto State Road 13.

Police say that Johnson drove into the other lane, which is when his motorcycle collided with a vehicle.

Johnson was flown to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries while there.

The investigation into the circumstances of the collision continues.

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
