Mangled metal, smashed hoods and broken glass were left behind after the crash on Heckscher Dr. near Heritage River Road around 3:30 a.m.
Florida Highway Patrol said 20-year-old Lark Hodge was driving a Ford Escape westbound on Heckscher Dr. when she lost control and drove into an eastbound lane.
She ran head-on into 46-year-old Derrick Lamar Jones, who was driving a white GMC Yukon. Jones was killed in the crash.
Hodge was taken to UF Health Jacksonville with serious injuries.
