ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – The northbound lanes of State Road 207 reopened about 4:45 p.m. Wednesday, nearly five hours after a crash that flipped an SUV on its side and crushed the front of a tractor-trailer, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
FHP was called to the crash on S.R. 207 at Deerpark Boulevard, just west of Interstate 95, just before 11 a.m. A 19-year-old from Hastings driving the GMC Yukon died and the driver of the semi was hospitalized with serious injuries.

Just before 3 p.m., one southbound lane of S.R. 207 reopened, and the second lane opened 30 minutes later. Both northbound lanes reopened just over an hour later.
