JACKSONVILLE - Authorities say three adults and five children were injured in a two-vehicle crash on a bridge.

Florida Highway Patrol say the Saturday crash on the Hart Bridge occurred when a vehicle driven by 43-year-old Jack Strickland attempted to make a U-turn.

Authorities say Strickland's Dodge then crashed into a Chevrolet truck driven by 31-year-old Carlos E. Torres and both vehicles collided with a concrete barrier wall.

Five children, ranging from 5 to 15 years old, were injured. They were in the vehicle driven by Torres. The children and the two adults in the vehicle, all of whom were wearing seat belts, were in serious condition.

Strickland, who also was wearing a seat belt and was driving alone, was in critical condition.
