17-year-old Jamison Mobley was transported to a Tallahassee hospital and is continuing her recovery.
A memorial video was also posted for all four teenagers on the sheriff’s office’s Facebook page.
“We are grateful to the off-duty law enforcement and several Good Samaritans who stopped to render aid. Their bravery saved a life, and their willingness to step into an unknown and dangerous situation reflects true selflessness,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement. “We also extend our sincere appreciation to the first responders—Sheriff’s Office deputies, Florida Highway Patrol, EMS personnel, the Eastpoint Volunteer Fire Department, and Survival Flight—for responding with compassion and care during an incredibly difficult scene.”
The sheriff’s office also said for their community, as well as communities in Georgia, to keep all involved in their thoughts and prayers.

Franklin County, Florida Sheriff A.J. “Tony” Smith gave AccessWDUN more details on the fiery Monday crash that took the lives of three Horizon Christian Academy students.
He told AccessWDUN the teenagers were driving in a Jeep on the way down to St. George Island to meet some of their parents for spring break.
The wreck only involved the Jeep, which was traveling southbound before veering into the northbound lanes hitting a pine tree according to eyewitness accounts. That collision caused the car to catch fire.
Smith said there were four occupants, and one survived but is currently at a hospital in Tallahassee. He said she is “very fortunate given the severity of the crash.”
He added that intoxication was not believed to be a factor, and he said tiredness was likely a factor due to the students traveling since 5 a.m. on Monday.
Smith said his office is withholding the victims’ names until the next-of-kin have time to process the tragedy.
