Jacksonville, FL (July 10, 2026) – A major collision involving injuries caused heavy traffic delays early on Thursday morning on Interstate 295 southbound near the San Jose Boulevard area in Duval County.
The Florida Highway Patrol reported the crash occurred on the southbound lanes of I-295 West before the San Jose Boulevard exit. Two left lanes were blocked as emergency units worked at the site, and traffic was further affected by a temporary roadblock in the area.
Officials confirmed the collision involved injuries, but the number of people hurt and the severity of those injuries were not immediately released. The roadway was cleared at approximately 6:30 a.m.
Shortly after the roadway reopened, a van that had been caught in the traffic backup became disabled in the inside lane, creating additional delays for commuters. All lanes have since reopened, and normal traffic flow has resumed. Investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the accident.
We are thinking of those hurt and wish them a full recovery.
What Information Is Commonly Reviewed After a Highway Injury Collision?
Following a highway collision that involves injuries, investigators typically examine the positions of the vehicles, roadway markings, debris, and any available surveillance or dash-camera footage. Witness statements may also help establish how the vehicles came together before the collision occurred.
Traffic conditions, weather, visibility, and road surface conditions are commonly reviewed as part of the investigation. Vehicle damage and mechanical condition may also be documented to determine whether equipment issues contributed to the sequence of events. These findings help investigators develop a clearer understanding of how the collision unfolded and support efforts to improve roadway safety.
