Jacksonville, FL — A residential neighborhood on the westside, near Timquana Park and Timuquana Country Club was the scene of a police and Hazmat investigation Saturday morning.
Jacksonville Sheriff’s Officers responded to Timuquana Rd. because a vehicle was left parked in front of a house with a sign that read, “Danger, stay back hazmat needed”.
JSO says there was a strong chemical smell around the car.
Police found bottles of hydrochloric acid next to the car.
JFRD Hazmat was called to the neighborhood and advised citizens to shelter inside their homes. No evacuation was ordered.
One person was found dead inside the car.
Police said the death is investigated as an apparent suicide.
”It’s just an off-the-beaten path subdivision," neighbor Chris Parson said. "It’s been here for a long time and we like our peace and quiet. This is kind of unusual for us.”
