A man in his mid-30s died early Friday morning in a crash at the intersection of Beach and Kernan boulevards, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.
The crash shut down the off-ramp to eastbound Beach from northbound Kernan for hours.
JSO Sgt. Robert Hungerford said the crash was reported around 4:30 a.m. Friday and that the driver died at the scene.
Hungerford said skid marks and a debris field indicate the driver misjudged the exit ramp from northbound Kernan Boulevard onto eastbound Beach Boulevard. He said the Nissan SUV struck a curb, veered off to the east and then hit a tree.
It’s possible speed was a factor in the crash, Hungerford said.
This marks the 74th traffic fatality in Jacksonville this year.
