Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a crash that killed 2 teenagers on State Road 33 west of Groveland.
FHP said the crash happened around 6 p.m. Saturday on SR-33 near Groveland Farms Road.
Troopers say a 16-year-old girl was driving a Toyota Scion southbound and attempted to pass a vehicle in a no passing zone. She had a 17-year-old Clermont boy riding as her passenger.
After the teen entered the northbound lane, she saw an oncoming SUV and swerved back into the southbound lane.
FHP says the 16-year-old then lost control of her Toyota which rotated and reentered the northbound lane in the direct path of the SUV, causing the SUV to crash into the right side of car which then overturned.
The Toyota’s driver and her passenger were pronounced dead at the scene.
The 75-year-old driver of the SUV and his 3 passengers were all taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
FHP says the crash remains under investigation.
