Jacksonville, FL (October 30, 2024) – A car chase involving the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) ended in a three-vehicle crash Wednesday morning at the intersection of Cesery Boulevard and the Arlington Expressway Service Road. The incident highlights the dangers associated with high-speed pursuits and their potential consequences for innocent drivers and passengers.
According to FHP, the chase began when a trooper attempted to stop a driver suspected of operating a stolen vehicle or using a stolen tag. The driver fled from the trooper, leading to a pursuit that ultimately resulted in the crash. The collision involved three vehicles and prompted a swift response from local law enforcement and emergency services.
The driver who fled from FHP was taken into custody at the scene. Fortunately, the injuries reported were minor, affecting a passenger in the fleeing vehicle. However, the situation remains concerning, as authorities have indicated that a female subject involved in the incident is still “at large.”
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, along with the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, responded to the crash scene to assist with the investigation and manage traffic. Drivers in the area were advised to avoid the intersection until the roads were cleared and the situation was fully resolved.
Our thoughts are with those affected by this incident, and we hope for a swift resolution to the ongoing investigation.
