Fruit Cove, FL (March 14, 2020) – The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene of a fatal truck accident on Greenbriar Road around State Route 13.

The accident occurred between a semi-truck and a passenger vehicle early this morning. One fatality was reported due to the incident.

Police closed down that stretch of the roadway in the area so that they could clear the scene. There were extensive blockages in the area due to the severity of the damages to both vehicles.

It is not known if any other parties were injured. The investigation into the accident is currently ongoing.

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