Jacksonville, FL —

It was a chaotic drive home on JTB Thursday.  Traffic was at a standstill because of a deadly crash just west of Hodges Blvd around 5:15pm.   

New this morning, we are told the driver of a Ford F-250, 53 year-old Dann Lute, caused a chain reaction crash because he failed to stop for traffic ahead of him.

Florida Highway Patrol says alcohol is believed to have played a role in the crash, and charges are pending.

According to the crash report WOKV obtained, a 2000 Chevy Silverado was stopped on JTB in the outside lane, west of Hodges, behind other traffic that was waiting to exit at Hodges.

A 2001 Jaguar was stopped behind the Silverado, and a Toyota 4-Runner was stopped behind the Jaguar.

FHP says the driver of the Toyota 4-Runner was killed after it rolled over and collided with the Jaguar.


The other people involved in the chain reaction crash had minor injuries.
