Jacksonville, FL (January 5, 2020) – This morning, two people were hospitalized in a car accident that took place when a vehicle crashed into a mobile home on FL-10.

The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department was called to the scene of the accident around 4 a.m., where they found that a van crashed into a mobile home, pinning one person between the house and the vehicle. That person was freed and immediately transported to the hospital with serious injuries.

Police have also confirmed that one other person was taken to the hospital but their condition is not known.

A tow truck was called to the scene to remove the vehicle. A portion of the structure was held up with cement blocks.

Police continue to investigate the accident at this time.

Pedestrian Accidents in Florida 

Pedestrian accidents are some of the most serious types of accidents on our roads. Between 2008 and 2017, there were approximately 5,433 pedestrian fatalities in Florida due to the negligence of others and many more were seriously injured. When a driver fails to pay close attention to the roads and a pedestrian is harmed, it is important that victims or their families speak with a personal injury attorney about their options.
