JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville police on Thursday said that they located a car they believe to have been used in a deadly hit-and-run crash on Avenue B.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said a pedestrian died after being struck twice by cars Feb. 15 near the intersection of West 45th Street.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, two pedestrians — both men — were in the road when they were struck by a northbound vehicle that fled the scene.
The Sheriff’s Office said one victim was knocked into a southbound lane and that person was hit by a car traveling south. That man died from his injuries, and that driver stayed at the scene.
The other pedestrian, police said, was hospitalized with serious injuries.
