Two 10-year-old girls were killed Sunday evening in
Auburndale after deputies said a driver possibly ran a red light and
crashed into the car they were riding in.
The crash happened on Havendale Boulevard at the intersection with New Jersey Road at around 6:30 p.m.
According to reports, a 2006 Dodge Ram pick-up truck was heading westbound on Havendale Boulevard when it collided with a 2006 Volkswagen Beetle, driven by Linda H. Mercer, 60, heading south on New Jersey Road.
Deputies said the preliminary investigation indicates the driver of the pick-up truck had a red light but went through the intersection anyway.
The truck rolled over and landed right side up. The driver, who was wearing his seatbelt, was taken to Winter Haven Hospital with minor injuries.
The Beetle crossed three lanes of traffic and came to rest on the south shoulder of Havendale Bouelvard.
Audrey Mercer, 14, was in the front seat at the time. Deputies said she was wearing a seatbelt and did not suffer any significant injuries.
However, two of the three passengers in the back seat - Mikalia Rojas and Morgan Milligan, both 10, - died as a result of the crash. A third back seat passenger, Maleah Rojas, 8, was airlifted to Tampa General Hospital in critical condition.
*Maleah is still fighting for her life
