CLAY COUNTY, Fla. — An 18-year-old man from Green Cove Springs died early Tuesday after a wreck on State Road 16 in Clay County.
The Florida Highway Patrol says the crash happened just before 7 a.m.
The teen was driving a sedan westbound in the eastbound lane when he hit the back of a pickup truck.
The pickup’s driver, a 38-year-old Green Cove Springs man, was not hurt.
But the sedan kept going the wrong way and then hit another pickup truck head-on. The driver of that truck, a 21-year-old man from Jacksonville, was seriously hurt, FHP says.
Troopers are investigating what led the sedan to travel in the wrong direction.
