Hit-and-run crash in Jacksonville leaves 4-year-old dead

JSO is looking for the light-colored sedan that reportedly hit an SUV and took off.

A 4-year-old was killed in a hit-and-run crash on Merrill Road near Rogero Road in Arlington late Saturday night.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office says about 11:00pm, a light-colored sedan changed lanes and ran into an SUV, forcing it off Merrill Road according to witnesses. The SUV crashed into a telephone pole. The driver of the car fled and has not reported the crash to JSO. A 4-year-old passenger in the SUV was pronounced dead at the scene. The SUV driver was transported to the hospital by Jacksonville Fire and Rescue.

Anyone with information about the light-colored sedan is encouraged to contact JSO at 904-630-0500 or call Crimestoppers at 866-845-TIPS and you may be eligible for a cash reward. The car will likely have damage to the passenger’s side door(s).
