St. Augustine, FL – At least one female was transported to Flagler Hospital after an accident on US 1 near Shores Blvd. shortly before 1:00pm on Monday.

Several people stood around the car as it rested on the median on the southbound side of US 1, while fire fighters packaged one female patient for transport to Flagler.

Onlookers stood on the east side of US 1 watching the activity and traffic crawled through the scene using a single lane.
