The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a single-vehicle crash in Apopka that left three teenagers dead and injured three others on Sunday.

According to FHP, a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado was traveling eastbound on Welch Road approaching Wekiwa Drive just after 1:30 a.m. when the driver lost control of the pickup while negotiating a curve. The Silverado ran off the roadway, struck a tree and overturned.

The pickup truck's driver, a 17-year-old Apopka boy, and two passengers — also teen boys from Apopka — were transported to area hospitals with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Three other Apopka teen boys were in the pickup truck when it crashed, and two were pronounced dead at the scene. The third was transported to AdventHealth Apopka, where he was pronounced dead.
