Jacksonville – A major crash on I-295 W North near 103rd Street caused significant traffic disruptions on Sunday afternoon, August 10, 2025. The incident, which involved at least one vehicle, initially blocked two left lanes of the highway, leading to considerable delays for motorists.
Jacksonville Fire and Rescue crews arrived at the scene around 2:45 PM, deploying at least five rescue units to manage the situation. The two left lanes of the highway briefly reopened at approximately 3:10 PM, but traffic continued to be affected as the recovery operation proceeded.
As of 3:30 PM, the two left lanes were closed again to facilitate the towing of the vehicle involved in the crash. Drivers reported slow traffic in both directions, and authorities advised motorists to expect delays in the area until the scene was completely cleared.
At this time, there is no immediate information regarding any injuries sustained as a result of the incident. The rainy weather at the time of the crash may have contributed to the hazardous driving conditions.
Details of the Incident
The crash occurred during a period of inclement weather, which has been common in the region lately. Emergency services responded quickly, and the presence of multiple rescue units indicated the seriousness of the situation as responders worked to ensure safety and clear the roadway.
Traffic Impact
Due to the crash, traffic on I-295 W North was severely impacted. All lanes were affected, causing congestion and delays that extended beyond the immediate area of the incident. Commuters and drivers were warned to plan for extended travel times due to ongoing traffic disruption and to seek alternate routes if possible.
Background Context
I-295 is a major thoroughfare in Jacksonville, used by thousands of vehicles daily. The road is known for heavy traffic, particularly during peak commuting hours. Accidents on this route can lead to extensive delays, especially when they occur in adverse weather conditions. Sunday’s rainy weather was likely a factor that contributed to the crash.
Authorities frequently remind drivers to exercise caution during such conditions and maintain safe driving practices, such as reducing speed and increasing following distances. The importance of road safety is compounded in adverse weather, where visibility and traction can be significantly reduced.
As cleanup and recovery operations continue, local authorities will likely conduct a thorough investigation into the accident to determine its cause and prevent similar incidents in the future. The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue has confirmed that they will provide further updates as necessary.
While the full impact of the accident on the local traffic network is still being assessed, drivers are advised to remain alert and prepared for potential delays on their journeys.
