There is nothing more frightening that thinking that a drunk person may be behind the wheel of the car next to you.

Several motorists were frightened Sunday when a pickup truck truck speeded down Atlantic Avenue then lost control and flew into the air. After going airborne the vehicle flipped over the median landing on top of another car this afternoon.

Police investigating the scene say they retrieved a whiskey bottle from the truck.

Jacksonville Fire and Rescue had to bring the jaws of life to the scene and literally cut the driver and passenger out of the vehicle but the passenger died while the driver sustained serious injuries.

This all happened just east of I-95.

And as for the car that was crushed, the woman had to crawl out of the crushed car and went to a nearby house where a man says she appeared to be in shock. Her injuries are said to be minor.

The names of the individuals involved have yet to be released but that driver could face vehicular manslaughter charges.
