Prayers are pouring in after five high schoolers were involved in a "horrific" car accident in Florida.
A group of five high schoolers were reportedly involved in a deadly crash in Pompano Beach, Florida on Sunday. The crash reportedly claimed at least two lives and injured more. A 16-year-old and 17-year-old student were killed in the crash.
The crash occurred in the 200 block of West Copans Road in Pompano Beach.
Some of the students attended St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale.
"Today's a very difficult and hard day for the entire community of Saint Thomas Aquinas, but also for the entire Archdiocese of Miami," said Juan Di Prado, Senior Director of Communications, Archdiocese of Miami. "As we gather here to pray for three star students and two former students who were involved in this terrible accident over the weekend."
NBC 6 in Florida had more:
Investigators said five teenagers, a 16-year-old driver, a 17-year-old girl, and three 17-year-old boys, were riding in a Mercedes Benz heading west when an 82-year-old man driving a Toyota Sienna turned left in front of them.
The Mercedes crashed with the Toyota, flipped onto its roof, slid across the road and hit two additional vehicles.
The Broward Sheriff's Office said the 16-year-old driver of the car was pronounced deceased at the hospital.
Prayers are pouring in for the friends and family members of the high school students involved.
St. Thomas Aquinas, a prestigious high school that has produced NFL stars Joey and Nick Bosa, released a statement.
"The STA community is prayerful in response to the news of a terrible accident involving STA students.
