Man dies after being hit by car filled with 3 teens in St. Johns County: FHP
ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – A 50-year-old St. Augustine man died Friday night after he stepped into the path of a car on U.S. 1 near Andora Street in St. Johns County and was struck, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
Troopers said a coupe, driven by an 18-year-old from Elkton who had a 17-year-old passenger from Green Acres and a 16-year-old passenger from Palatka in the car, was headed north on U.S. 1 around 7:15 p.m. Friday.
The 50-year-old was crossing the northbound lanes of U.S. 1 to reach the center median and stepped into the path of the coupe, troopers said.
He was struck and died at the scene.
All three teens were wearing their seat belts and none of them suffered injuries, according to the report.
It’s unclear if anyone will face charges in the crash.
