A high school diving champion died in a car crash on Monday night which also took the lives of two others.
Maisey O’Donnell, 18, was on spring break in Florida with friends from Concord-Carlisle High School in Massachusetts when the accident occurred.
According to WCVB-TV, the crash happened on Monday night after the SUV O’Donnell and three others were in collided with a tractor-trailer which had performed a U-turn in the paved median of the highway.
The SUV then reportedly moved across the median and both eastbound lanes before coming to a stop on the south side of the highway, Florida Highway Patrol said.
Jimmy McIntosh and Hannah Wasserman were pronounced dead at the scene before O’Donnell was also identified as a victim. A fourth victim remains in critical condition.
‘The Concord-Carlisle High School community has learned of a tragic car accident that took place in Florida on Monday night,’ Concord-Carlisle Regional School District Superintendent Dr. Laurie Hunter said in a statement on Tuesday.
‘Two seniors, Jimmy McIntosh and Hannah Wasserman, passed away as a result of the accident. We offer our deep condolences to the families and friends of Hannah and Jimmy during this unimaginable time. Their loss will be deeply felt by our school community as well as by so many families in Carlisle and Concord.’
