NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. – A Georgia man is dead after an accident about 10 p.m. Friday night on Interstate-95 just before the Florida-Georgia border, according to Florida Highway Patrol.

A 41-year-old man driving an SUV in the far right lane at mile marker 381, just south of the Florida-Georgia line, came to stop in a northbound lane. That’s when a second vehicle, driven by a 37-year-old man with a 59-year-old passenger inside, crashed into the stopped car.
