A bicyclist was fatally struck by a truck Wednesday morning near McCormick Road and Kernan Boulevard North, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

Sgt. Robert Hungerford said at around 7 a.m., an elderly bicyclist wearing a helmet made a left turn to go westbound on McCormick and at the same time, a car was heading west on the same road and struck the man.

He was taken to a nearby hospital by the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, where he died.

Hungerford said this is the 117th traffic fatality in Duval County this year and the 4th involving a bicyclist. By comparison, Hungerford said that at this time in 2025, there were six bicyclist fatalities.

McCormick at Kernan has since reopened.

More information is expected from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office later Wednesday morning.
