Troopers said a Dodge Charger and a Kia Optima were racing on U.S. 192 when the 19-year-old Davenport man driving the Charger failed to slow down and hit the back of a Toyota RAV4.
The Charger then left the road and hit a sign while the RAV4 went into the median and hit a sign. The Optima was hit with debris from the crash, but the FHP said the 17-year-old Loughman boy who was driving was uninjured.
Troopers said the man driving the Charger suffered minor injuries while his 19-year-old passenger was not injured at all.
The 23-year-old woman was in the RAV4 as a passenger along with an 11-year-old passenger who died at an area hospital after the crash. According to the report, the 11-year-old girl was not wearing a seatbelt at the time. The 35-year-old Leesburg woman who was driving the RAV4 was taken to the hospital after the crash in serious condition.
