All lanes of Commonwealth Avenue at Imeson Road in Jacksonville were shut down Saturday morning following a traffic crash, and authorities say the wreck was fatal. The closure stretches across the intersection in Northwest Jacksonville, leaving drivers with no way through the area as investigators work the scene.
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, the closure came after a crash reported Saturday morning, and the agency has confirmed a fatality resulted from the incident.
Separately, a report titled “JSO responding to traffic fatality in Northwest Jacksonville” had previously been published, according to First Coast News, though it's unclear whether that item refers to this same incident given the limited details available. The outlet also ran a piece titled “All lanes of Commonwealth Avenue back open after crash,” as reported by First Coast News, though no timeline for when the roadway reopened has been confirmed.
Drivers Urged to Steer Clear
In the meantime, drivers are being told to avoid the crash area entirely and seek alternate routes while the intersection remains closed. Anyone who regularly travels through the Commonwealth Avenue and Imeson Road corridor in Northwest Jacksonville should plan for delays or detours until the scene clears.
This is a developing story, and updates will be added as more information becomes available.
