Five killed, one hurt in crash off I-95
Five people, including three teenagers, were killed Saturday in Riviera Beach after their car was hit by another vehicle that sped through an interstate exit ramp, authorities said.The driver of a 2008 Mercedes is believed to have been speeding as he exited Interstate 95 and ran a red light about five miles north of West Palm Beach shortly after midnight, Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Tim Frith said.
Jabari Kemp’s vehicle slammed into a 1994 Lexus carrying five people, the youngest 14 and the oldest 22. The impact ejected four people from the car. Only one was wearing a seat belt, Frith said.
Four of the people in the Lexus were dead at the scene. A fifth died at a nearby hospital.
Killed in the crash were Makita Campbell, 14; Shonteria Grimsley, 17; Jason Mahlung, 21; and Christina Oliver Joseph, 17, all of Riviera Beach, in South Florida. A 22-year-old man also killed in the crash has not been identified.
Kemp, 21, was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital with injuries that were serious but not life-threatening. Frith said troopers will conduct an investigation. No charges have been filed. Frith said Kemp’s blood also will be checked for any indication of drugs or alcohol.
