A North Georgia community is grieving after three high school students were killed in a fiery crash<\/a> while traveling to Florida for spring break, authorities confirmed.<\/p>\n

The crash happened Monday morning along Highway 65 in Franklin County, Florida, involving four teens from Georgia who were headed to St. George Island to visit family and friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, three teens \u2014 Jackson Mobley, 18; Jaylyn Fehr, 17; and Charlotte Martin, 16 \u2014 died in the crash. A fourth passenger, Jamison Mobley, 17, survived and was airlifted to a hospital, where she remains in recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All four students attended Horizon Christian Academy in Cumming, Georgia, a private school serving roughly 300 students from kindergarten through 12th grade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a statement, the school said it is mourning the loss of three “amazing, kind, smart, and loved students,” while asking for continued prayers for the hospitalized teen and the families affected.<\/p>\n

“Please join us in lifting up these students’ families, and their friends in prayer,” the school said.<\/p>\n

Community remembers victims<\/p>\n

Two of the teens who died, Fehr and Martin, were also athletes with A5 Gwinnett Volleyball Club.<\/p>\n

Their coach, April Mifflin, described them as more than just players.<\/p>\n

“They were teammates, friends, daughters, and bright lights within our community,” Mifflin said. “Their impact reached far beyond the court.”<\/p>\n

The club said the loss has deeply impacted teammates, coaches, and families across the organization, calling it an “unimaginable loss.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Crash remains under investigation<\/p>\n

Authorities say the teens were traveling together when the vehicle went off the road and crashed. Investigators are still working to determine what caused the wreck.<\/p>\n

Officials also noted that not all of the teens were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Good Samaritans and an off-duty law enforcement officer stopped to help at the scene, actions officials say helped save the life of the surviving teen.<\/p>\n

A community in mourning<\/p>\n

Back in Cumming, Horizon Christian Academy has opened its chapel to students and families seeking space to grieve, as the community rallies around those affected.<\/p>\n

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office says memorial crosses will be placed at the crash site to honor the three teens who died.<\/p>\n

“When a life is lost in our community, no matter where someone calls home, we feel that loss together,” the sheriff’s office said<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Jamison Mobley continues her recovery, both communities \u2014 in Georgia and Florida \u2014 are holding onto hope while grappling with devastating loss.<\/p>\n
