Police search for hit-and-driver that killed man on Arlington Road

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A man was killed in a hit-and-run crash Friday night in the Woodland Acres neighborhood, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

The crash happened around 8 p.m. Friday on Arlington Road.

JSO said a man, in his late 40s, was walking westbound across Arlington Road and was hit by a car traveling southbound in the outside lane.

The car “immediately” left the scene by making a U-turn to turn onto eastbound Lillian Road, and was last seen heading toward Lone Star Road, according to police.

A witness described the vehicle as a newer (2016 to 2018) white Nissan sedan with no window tint. Police said the suspect driver was described as a woman in her early twenties with braids pulled up into a bun.

This is the 33rd traffic fatality in Duval County this year and the 8th involving a pedestrian, according to JSO.
