According to FHP, the teen was stopped on a motorized scooter in a westbound travel lane on an unlit stretch of Sandridge Road. Troopers say the scooter had no lighting on it at the time of the crash.
A 16-year-old driver from Green Cove Springs, traveling westbound, did not see the stopped scooter and was unable to slow in time to avoid it. The front right of his sedan struck the scooter.
A third vehicle — an SUV driven by a 17-year-old girl from Green Cove Springs — was also traveling westbound and struck the rear of the sedan following the initial impact.
The 14-year-old was thrown from the scooter, suffering fatal injuries.
