Jacksonville, Fla. -A high -speed accident let a vehicle through several meters before he slam in a house in San Marco in the early Thursday morning and emphasized what the residents say that it was a continued speed problem along the Hendricks Avenue.

Surveillance cameras recorded film material of the vehicle, which the police estimated that it drove over 100 miles per hour, as she was shortly before 1 o'clock

“We kept saying that we were lucky and he was very lucky that it wasn't worse. Or that he was not thrown out of the car,” said Drake.

The incident has reinforced the concerns of the residents about the chronic speed of speed along these Hendricks Avenue. Homeowners report several accidents in recent years, including a fatal accident where a pedestrian goes for a walk with their dog.

“We had several accidents here. We had a man killed a man during the morning traffic while walking with his dog,” said Ron Nepa.

Drake, who has lived in the area for three years, experienced the dangerous trend first hand. “The cars and motorcycles that run up and down day and night. It was a matter of time. I saw four accidents,” she said.

While the police are aware of the speed problems, enforcement remains a challenge because they require violations on the action. The published speed limit in this section of the Hendricks Avenue is 40 miles per hour and lower than the estimated speed of the crash on Thursday.

The residents of the Hendricks Avenue ask the drivers to change a greater caution, especially when homeowners enter or leave their entrances and when pedestrians use nearby sidewalks.

“You won't get there faster. Only slower. We live here. We have to move in and pull out. Make sure what is going on around you,” said Drake.

NEPA repeated these concerns and emphasized how important it is to keep the published boundaries: “It is 40 miles per hour, and I think we have to try to keep that.”

According to reports, the driver on Thursday on Thursday only suffered minor leg injuries.
