JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A man who was killed in a traffic crash early Tuesday morning has been identified by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

Jack B. Thornton, 45, of Jacksonville was driving westbound on State Street near North Davis Street around 2:15 a.m, according to a news release from JSO Public Information Officer Shannon Hartley.

Thornton lost control of his vehicle after navigating a curve. The vehicle then ran into the median and flipped, which trapped Thornton inside of his vehicle.

Thornton was pronounced dead at a local hospital. The investigation is ongoing, Hartley said.
