1 dead after crash in vehicle stolen from St. Johns Co. deputy

The road is expected to be closed for several hours as crews respond to the scene.

One person is dead after reportedly stealing a St. Johns County deputy's personal vehicle and getting into a crash on Kings Estate Road in St. Johns County, said Chuck Mulligan from the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office.

Mulligan said a man and woman stole the deputy's Jeep and overturned on the road, which shut down the road between St. Augustine Boulevard to San Juan Drive for several hours. It is now back open.

Both occupants were ejected. The man died at the scene while the woman was transported to the hospital.

At this time, investigators are looking to see if the deputy's vehicle was targeted.
