Jacksonville, FL (November 13, 2019) – Around 6 a.m. this morning, authorities and other emergency responders were dispatched to a multi-vehicle collision on a Jacksonville bridge.

The accident took place on Hart Bridge just west of the St. Johns River. The accident was so severe that it completely blocked the right lane of traffic for several hours. The extent of the damages was not confirmed.

Police claim that paramedics were present at the scene and assisted those with injuries. By 8:42 a.m., police had still not cleared the scene entirely but it did not take much longer.

No other details concerning the accident have been released. However, the investigation is ongoing at this time.

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