Jacksonville, FL (December 9, 2019) – On one day over the weekend in the evening hours, a fatal pedestrian crash took place on Mayo Road in Jacksonville.

Police claim that a woman in a Chevrolet Camaro pulled to the side of the roadway after being involved in a crash. The woman, who was identified as a 33-year-old, then exited her vehicle to speak with the other driver involved in the collision. On her way back to her vehicle, she was struck by a Chevrolet Cruze.

The driver of the Cruze spoke with police and told them that it was difficult to see anybody on the road due to bad lighting.

According to police, the victim was tragically pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The driver of the Cruze was identified as a 17-year-old girl.

Charges are currently pending.

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.
