A man in a wheelchair was killed in a traffic crash on Jacksonville’s Southside after being struck by two vehicles Thursday night.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A man in a wheelchair was struck and killed in a traffic crash Thursday night on Jacksonville’s Southside, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. 

According to JSO, the crash happened around 8:12 p.m. in the 10900 block of Old Gainesville Road.

Police said the man, identified only as a man in his late 40’s, was in the center of the roadway when he was hit by a westbound Toyota two-door vehicle. The impact threw the man into the eastbound lane, where he was struck again by a Toyota four-door sedan.

Jacksonville Fire and Rescue transported the man to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

JSO says both drivers stayed at the scene and are cooperating with detectives.

This marks the 124th traffic fatality in Duval County this year and the 28th involving a pedestrian, according to JSO.

Police said the 10900 block of Old Gainesville Road remained shut down for about an hour Thursday night while investigators processed the scene.
