Jacksonville, FL (December 2, 2019) – Around 6 a.m. this morning, a car accident took place on Butler Boulevard in Jacksonville leading onto I-295.

The accident took place in the eastbound lanes of traffic and was so severe that it blocked all lanes of traffic in the area for some time. The crash led to extensive delays for those traveling to work this morning.

Police claim that multiple vehicles collided on the highway this morning where the two roadways connect, leading to severe damages in several vehicles. Injuries were reported but police did not comment on the extent of the injuries.

The investigation of the accident continues at this time.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.
