Jacksonville, FL (May 22, 2026) – Two people died and one person was injured Thursday afternoon after a two-car accident on Roosevelt Boulevard in Jacksonville.
The collision happened around 12:50 p.m. just north of Naval Air Station Jacksonville. The Florida Highway Patrol said a sedan driven by a 24-year-old Jacksonville woman was traveling north in the left lane.
A second sedan, driven by a 66-year-old woman from Moore, South Carolina, was turning left from a driveway access to head south. A 78-year-old Jacksonville man was riding as a passenger in that vehicle.
All three people were taken to a hospital after the wreck. The 66-year-old woman and the 78-year-old man were later pronounced dead. The 24-year-old woman’s updated medical status was not released.
The circumstances remain under review as investigators continue gathering information. We extend our sincere condolences to the families of those who lost their lives.
What Details Matter After a Fatal Turning Collision?
Fatal turning collisions often require a careful review of vehicle paths, traffic flow, and driver visibility. When one vehicle turns across a busy road, both drivers may have only a short time to react. The speed of approaching traffic, driveway design, lane position, and sight distance can all affect how the contact occurs.
Investigators may also review damage patterns, final vehicle positions, traffic cameras, and witness statements. Hospital records can help explain the severity of harm for each person involved. In cases with passengers, seating position and seat belt use may also be reviewed. These details can take time to confirm, especially when multiple people are taken to the hospital and fatal injuries are later confirmed.
