A 17-year veteran of the Clay County Sheriff’s Office is dead after losing control of his car southbound on SR 13 near SR 16.
“This caused the vehicle to strike a guardrail and subsequently entered the ditch and struck several trees before it came to final rest,” says Florida Highway Patrol Sergeant Dylan Bryan.
FHP says 43-year-old Robert Boykin was pronounced dead at Baptist South.
CCSO confirms Boykin retired in February after 17 years of service that started as a patrol deputy and also worked as a detective in several agencies.
