19-year-old killed in fiery Volusia County crash: FHP

A 19-year-old from DeLand was killed after a head-on crash in Volusia County early Sunday morning, according to Florida Highway Patrol.

A 19-year-old woman was killed and a 22-year-old man is in critical condition after a fiery crash in Volusia County early Sunday morning, according to Florida Highway Patrol. 

The crash happened just after 2:15 a.m. on US-17, north of Lake Winona Road, in De Leon Springs. 

Troopers said that the 22-year-old man was headed south on US-17 in a Chevrolet Silverado when he swerved into the northbound lane for an unknown reason. That's when he collided with the girl in a Jeep Wrangler, whose vehicle ran off the road, flipped over and caught on fire. 

The man was airlifted as a trauma alert to a local hospital in critical condition, troopers said. The 19-year-old girl was pronounced dead on the scene. 

The crash remains under investigation. 

No other details have been released at this time.
