(THIS HAPPENED TODAY) SHE KNEW THE OTHER GIRL AS WELL.
WESLEY CHAPEL - Florida Highway Patrol troopers are investigating a single-car crash on I-75 that killed two teenage girls this afternoon.
Tabitha Pastrana, 18, of Wesley Chapel, was driving her 2002 Mitsibushi Eclipse north on I-75, just north of State Road 54, when she somehow lost control, said Trooper Larry Coggins.
Her car went into the shoulder and into the woods, slamming into trees and overturning and landing on its roof around 1 p.m., Coggins said.
Pastrana was dead at the scene. She was not wearing a seat belt, Coggins said.
Her passenger, 17-year-old Kristin Gaskin of San Antonio, was flown to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa, where she later died. She had been wearing a seat belt during the crash.
WILL SEND PRAYERS YOUR WAY FOR YOU AND YOURS
