Southbound Interstate-95 in Flagler County is closed and expected to be closed for several hours after a deadly crash involving a carjacking suspect out of Duval County, according to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office.

The closure is on I-95 south of State Route 100, FCSO said in social media posts.

A spokesperson told FOX 35 that a suspect wanted by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office for carjacking drove off, through St. Johns County and into Flagler County, where that suspect crashed into a semi truck. That suspect, who has not been identified, has died, FCSO said. The driver of the semi truck is OK.

According to Florida Highway Patrol, the driver was being pursued by St. Johns County Sheriff's Office deputies due to the vehicle being involved in a carjacking in Jacksonville.

A semi-truck was traveling southbound on I-95 south of Mile Marker 284 in the middle lane and was traveling slower due to heavy traffic, the incident report said.

The suspect driver tried to travel on the inside shoulder of I-95, but lost control and swerved into the middle lane. That's when the front of the car hit the back of the semi.
