Seven members of the Jacksonville University women’s soccer team were hurt and one was killed in a crash on US-90 near I-10 in Sanderson on Sunday afternoon, JU has confirmed.
The Florida Highway Patrol reported that there were eight passengers between the ages of 18 and 21 in a car that was traveling eastbound on US-90 and started to drive off the south shoulder, and overcorrected.After coming back on the roadway, the vehicle overcorrected again, resulting in it overturning and landing on its passenger side after rolling twice on the south shoulder, FHP said.
All other individuals in the vehicle were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash, as listed in the report. JU said the team was returning from an out-of-town trip they had organized together and posted photos on the team Facebook page: A team that enjoys being together at soccer and away from soccer.
