JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A man is dead after his car and another car side swiped each other on Jacksonville’s Northside, causing a crash early Tuesday morning.

JSO investigators said the man, in his early 30s, was driving a Ford Taurus northbound on Ernwill Street around 1:26 a.m. Tuesday when he collided with the side of a pickup truck driving southbound. 

Investigators said the driver of the pickup truck stopped after the collision, while the driver of the Taurus continued on for about a block before crashing into a parked car. The man was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. 

The pickup truck driver was not injured, investigators said. 

The intersection of Ernwill Street and Flicker Avenue will remain closed until JSO completes their investigation Tuesday morning.
