Daytona Beach, FL (September 4, 2025) – A two-vehicle crash with reported injuries occurred Wednesday morning near Mainland High School in Daytona Beach, according to reports from local police radio traffic. The collision involved a white Dodge Durango SUV and a green Jeep Wrangler.
The incident took place near West International Speedway Boulevard, with the vehicles reportedly pulling into the Mainland High School parking lot shortly after the crash. Emergency services were notified around 8:45 AM, and police units identified as 3 Mary 13 and 3 Mary 19 responded to the scene.
According to the radio dispatch, one person reported back pain following the accident. The individual driving the green Jeep left the scene after providing their contact and insurance information to the other party—common practice in non-life-threatening incidents where mutual exchange of details is possible before full police arrival.
Emergency responders evaluated the injured individual, and further medical attention may have been required depending on the severity of the reported pain. Investigators are reviewing the circumstances of the crash and determining whether further action is necessary regarding the party that left the scene.
We wish the injured individual a full and swift recovery and commend the quick response by local authorities.
School-Zone Accidents in Florida
Car crashes near schools—such as Wednesday’s collision at Mainland High School—present unique safety concerns. These zones typically include reduced speed limits, multiple crosswalks, school bus traffic, and high pedestrian activity. Even low-speed impacts can cause significant injuries due to close proximity to structures, tight turns, and the presence of young pedestrians.
West International Speedway Blvd is a major arterial road that runs adjacent to Mainland High School, and traffic in this corridor is typically dense during school arrival and dismissal times. The presence of high school students and faculty adds another layer of urgency to incidents occurring nearby.
In this case, the crash involved two private vehicles and resulted in a reported injury. While the individual who left the scene provided identifying information, Florida law generally encourages all involved parties in injury accidents to remain until authorities arrive—especially in school zones where reporting requirements are more stringent.
Accidents involving back or spinal injuries should never be underestimated, as symptoms can worsen over time. Prompt medical evaluation is always recommended, regardless of how mild pain may initially seem.
