SILVER SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say two teenagers died in a high-speed automobile crash in north central Florida.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports that the two high school students, 16-year-old William Wetherington and 17-year-old Katherine Livengood, died in the crash on Friday at around 6 p.m. in Silver Springs.
The Florida Highway Patrol says Wetherington was driving a red 2001 Chrysler 300 when he failed to negotiate a curve and ran the vehicle off the road.
The car crashed into a large pine tree, badly damaging the car.
The FHP says both teens were wearing their seatbelts, but Livengood was thrown from the vehicle.
