Jacksonville, Fl — One person died and a second person sustained critical injuries in a Thursday night crash on Blanding Boulevard just north of 103rd Street.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office says it happened in the VyStar Credit Union parking lot around 10:15 pm.
An SUV headed south on Blanding left the roadway for unknown reasons. It struck a bus stop bench then toppled a wooden power pole before coming to rest on its side.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash.
Power was out for some JEA customers in the area for a period of time. This marks the 80th traffic fatality in Duval County this year, according to JSO.
