The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has responded to nearly 600 crashes along Blanding Boulevard over the past two years.
JSO spends a good amount of time at Youngerman Circle for a bad reason.
“It’s always so much traffic. People are cutting people off and it’s just ridiculous, and it’s just always like crashes,” Jacksonville resident Latoya Calhoun said.The intersection of Blanding and Youngerman Circle has claimed a “not-so-good” title in Duval County for back-to-back years.In 2020, JSO responded to the intersection 113 times and in 2021, JSO responded 135 times.
“I’m not shocked at all. I think that’s about right. I’m surprised that that’s the number they have, I thought it’d be more,” Calhoun said.According to JSO, officers responded to 83 hit-and-run crashes since 2020.Drivers like Calhoun said that number is only going to go down if people keep their eyes on the road.
Other agencies like the Clay County Sheriff’s Office and Florida Highway Patrol respond to crashes along Blanding Boulevard.
