Action News Jax talked to a person who witnessed the incident but didn’t want to be identified for their safety.
The person said they watched the victim and the suspect have a brief exchange in the middle of the intersection before the car sped up and hit the woman.
“They skeed off, hit her, and carried her a good 10 feet, 12 feet. She stopped moving once he hit her, and it wasn’t a mistake. They tried to kill her.”
According to the witness, it appears the two people could have known each other.
The black four-door sedan was last seen traveling eastbound on West Edgewood Avenue towards I-95 South.
