Two adolescents have passed away after a tragic car accident that has also resulted in three others being in critical condition.
The driver of the Mercedes involved in the crash, Jayden Vico, aged 16, collided with a Toyota Sienna and the car overturned.
An 82-year-old man was operating the Sienna at the time of the collision with Vico.
Florida cops revealed the Mercedes then smashed into a Lexus RX 350 before crashing into another Toyota car on Friday.
The Mercedes burst into flames following the impact of the smashes.
“I heard one of the kids saying, ‘Oh my God, oh my God, oh My God,” Danny Morillo, a passerby, told the NBC affiliate WTVJ-TV.
“That broke my heart, knowing that he can say something, but he cannot move or get out from that.”
Vico was identified as one of the fatalities, according to a GoFundMe post created by his family.
“Jayden was truly one of a kind—kind, funny, compassionate, and full of light,” they said.
“His presence brought joy to everyone who knew him, and his sudden absence leaves an unfillable void in all our lives.”
Richie Grable, 17, was one of the passengers and he was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition.
He has since died from brain damage, his dad told WTVJ-TV.
The other injured victims have been identified as Ryan Bradley, Tomas Brown, and Aiden Finkel.
They were all in the Mercedes that Vico was driving.
Finkel was left with broken ribs, a broken collarbone, and a brain haemorrhage following the crash.
“Right now, he’s in the hospital, receiving critical care and fighting hard to heal,” friends have said.
They revealed the road he is facing is long.
Meanwhile, Brown was left with a broken femur and a collapsed lung.
Friends and family members have revealed he faces the prospect of several surgeries.
“He’s fighting through unimaginable pain with incredible strength and courage,” they posted on GoFundMe.
Bradley is in a critical condition and is fighting for her life.
The 17-year-old has been left with serious brain and lung injuries following the horror smash.
She also suffered fractured ribs, as well as pelvic and spinal injuries.
