JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A man was hospitalized Friday night after he was shot while driving on the Hart Bridge, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
According to Lt. McCormick, with the Sheriff’s Office, police were notified of the incident at about 5:30 p.m.
“We received reports of gunfire on the Hart Bridge northbound between a couple vehicles on the bridge,” McCormick explained.
