Two Jacksonville teens died in an accident on U.S. 17 Wednesday night.
Kay Stanley Deraway IV, 16, was driving a 2002 Nissan Sentra with Travis Lighthall, 15, as his passenger.
They were southbound on U.S. 17 near Harts Road when, for unknown reasons, the Sentra veered onto the right shoulder. Deraway tried to correct the vehicle and crossed the roadway.
Stuart Henry Savedoff, 76, of Fernandina Beach was driving a 2012 Kia Soul northbound and was unable to avoid striking the Sentra’s passenger side with the front of his Soul.
Deraway and Lighthall died at the scene while Savedoff was taken to UF Health Jacksonville with serious injuries. All three were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.
