The Florida Highway Patrol has identified a 30-year-old Keystone Heights woman as the victim of a fatal crash involving a semi-truck on Interstate 295 northbound and Duval Road.
Troopers said around 1 p.m., a 2015 Nissan Altima, driven by Ashley Galan, was traveling northbound in the left lane behind a 2020 Volvo semi-truck.
Due to traffic congestion, the semi-truck slowed down, troopers said. Galan failed to slow down causing the front of her vehicle to collide with the rear of the trailer being pulled by the semi-truck.
The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department said Galan died at the scene.
Family members started a GoFundMe to raise money for funeral agents for Galan, who also leaves behind a 12-year-old daughter. To donate, click here.
FHP is working to determine if alcohol was a factor in Galan's death. No injuries were sustained to the driver and passenger of the semi-truck.
