Teen athlete dies in I-595 crash

Kendell Williams, a Coral Glades High School athlete, died on March 27 after sustaining multiple injuries in a highway collision as she and her friends headed to the beach over spring break.

Williams, 16, was a passenger in a Dodge Journey traveling east on Interstate 595 on March 22 when a Toyota Corolla veered into its path, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

After the two cars collided, the Dodge began rotating clockwise, overturned several times and launched over a concrete barrier wall, according to FHP. The car rolled down an embankment, crashed through a 6-foot chain link fence and finally stopped on its left side on a grassy shoulder.
