A fatal crash closed two right lanes of southbound I-95 near International Golf Parkway in St. Johns County early Saturday, leaving part of the route narrowed while responders worked at the scene. The Florida Highway Patrol told News4JAX the collision happened shortly after 1 a.m.
Troopers had not released details about how the crash occurred, the vehicles involved, or the identity of the person who died, according to the station. The number of people injured has also not been confirmed in the information available. Drivers heading south through the area should allow for delays while the lane closure remains in effect.
A historical measure of crashes on the corridor
The current crash is a single event; county-level history offers broader context but does not explain its cause. Florida Highway Patrol figures reported by First Coast News recorded seven fatal crashes on I-95 in St. Johns County in 2021 and seven in 2022. Those two annual counts provide historical context, not a measure of conditions at the International Golf Parkway location or evidence about what caused Saturday’s collision.
For now, the confirmed information remains limited to the fatal outcome, the approximate time and location, and the two blocked southbound lanes. Further details depend on updates from authorities.
