A search ended after troopers located a man who had run off near northbound Interstate 95 at the Florida-Georgia state line, temporarily blocking two northbound lanes in Camden County, Georgia, according to News4JAX.
The closure was reported near mile marker 382 as troopers searched the state-line area. News4JAX reported that troopers located the man. Authorities have not publicly identified him or released his age, name or an explanation for why he ran from the area.
Authorities ask drivers not to approach
News4JAX reported that troopers located the man, ending the search. It was not clear from the available information whether the lane closure had been lifted.
A separate state-line closure involved a different roadway
The current search is not the only recent transportation disruption near the Florida-Georgia line, but the comparison involves a different road and a different cause. On April 3, 2024, Jacksonville Today reported that a state inspection temporarily closed the U.S. 17 bridge at the line and directed drivers to Interstate 95 as a detour.
That earlier bridge closure does not indicate a connection to the current search or show that disruptions on the corridor are becoming more frequent. It provides only limited transportation context: the same state-line area can affect regional travel through separate incidents involving different roads and circumstances.
What remains unknown
The available reporting does not say how the man came to be near I-95, which direction he may have traveled, whether he posed a threat, or when the blocked lanes would reopen. Florida Highway Patrol said it would provide additional information as it became available, while drivers using the northbound interstate near the state line should follow posted instructions and avoid interfering with the search.
