Police estate Carlisle Teen drove 110 miles per hour

A third classmate, Maisey O'Donnell, 18, a state diving master, died three days later in the Massachusetts General Hospital, said the Florida Highway Patrol's crash report.

A fourth senior was critically injured in the crash, which was at school during the break for April vacation.

Lieutenant Jim Beauford, head of public affairs of the Florida Highway Patrol, said on Tuesday that traffic dead are examined as criminal matters and that they need forensic tests that are associated with lengthy processing times. In the crash report provided to the globe, no test results, testimony or other details were addressed, the information about Beauford to conclude the examination.

“We understand the desire for a quick solution for these criminal investigations. However, it is more important that we carry out the best possible examinations for the people involved,” he said on Tuesday in an e -mail.

Decisions about whether charges would be submitted in the case are made after the examination has been completed, said Beauford.

The law firm Morgan & Morgan published an explanation on behalf of O'Donnell's family.

“The loss of our daughter surprised us beyond words. We try to understand what has led to this senseless tragedy, so that others may never have to experience a similarly heartbreaking loss,” the explanation says.

The attempts to achieve the parents of the other victims were unsuccessful on Tuesday morning, and Laurie Hunter, headmistress of the Concord-Carlisle School, refused to comment on the crash report.

A witness, Dr. Gary Hoerton, said he drove home from work when the SUV came past him.

Moments before he had been stopped at a traffic light and did not see any vehicles behind him, said Herton on Tuesday. After the light changed, said Hoerton, he accelerated to about 72 miles per hour and then looked at him from behind.

“The car just blown me as if I was standing still,” said Herton, who specializes in emergency medicine. “My first impression was:” Oh no. “Because of the way he drove, something bad will happen.”

Then Hoerton said he heard a boom.

When the tractor -trailer tried a U -turn in the median on the Gulf Coast Highway, the SUV fell on the right side of the trailer, the report says. According to a crash diagram contained in the report, the inner tracks on both sides of the Median are marked with blows.

Herton said it seemed to him that the tractor -trailer had about a mile clearer street to make the U -turn.

“This car just ran so quickly,” he said. “It shouldn't have happened.”

In the crash report, an investigator wrote that Mcintosh “traveled at an excessive speed and did not slowly turn the traffic in front of him”.

The valued speed of the truck was 20 miles per hour, the report says.

After the collision, the SUV continued to the west, crossed the median and eastern traces and then stopped along the tree line on the south side of the highway, the report says.

The collision tore off the roof from the SUV and bent a support beam under the trailer, said Hoerton. He said he went to the vehicle, but he couldn't do anything to help the residents.

The report does not say whether the 19 -year -old truck driver, Kadyn Dwayne Ainsworth, from Defuniak Springs, Florida, was cited or accused, even though he does not give in at the time of the crash. On Tuesday, Beauford did not answer questions about the tractor's attempt to make a U -turn.

Neither Ainsworth nor his passenger were injured, the report says. Ainsworth did not give a message back on Tuesday that was looking for a comment. Officials administered tests on drugs and alcohol, but did not record the results. The crash report states that the investigators wrote that he did not believe that he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the collision.

The driving conditions were clear and dry. Mcintosh has not been tested for drugs or alcohol, the report says. The investigators wrote the word “unknown” in places on the form, in which information was looking for whether they suspected that he had used alcohol or drugs.

Wassman did not wear a seat belt, but all other teenagers wrote the investigators.

The SUV, in which they drove, had a license plate in Florida and was registered with Nicholas Altenkeche, the report says. Alteche declined a comment on Tuesday morning.

The tractor -trailer is registered at the Florida Community Services Corporation in Walton County, the report says. According to the organization, on its website as a regional supply company, business is involved in business and serves as a franchise operator of a water and sewage supply system for Walton County.

A representative refused to comment on Tuesday, citing ongoing studies.

The company has 54 trucks and 25 drivers, as subject to federal documents. According to the federal data, the April crash is the only one in which the company has been involved in the past two years.

Tracks registered in the company have subjected two inspections on the roadside in the past two years in March and May 2023, and inspectors have not found any violations, as recordings show.
