A tragic accident in Lake County, Florida has left three women dead and another in critical condition after their SUV crashed while traveling at a reported 116 MPH. The crash occurred around 3:15 AM on Sunday, when 30-year-old Shaykaylah Mathis lost control of a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee on State Road 19. Also in the vehicle were passengers Kaneisha Lewis (32), Aquatavia Pew (28), and Mariah Belcher (26). According to Florida Highway Patrol, the SUV failed to navigate a curve, struck a pole, and flipped multiple times—ejecting all four women from the vehicle. None of them were wearing seatbelts at the time.
What makes this incident even more heartbreaking is the footage that surfaced online just moments before the crash. Instagram and Facebook stories show the women drinking, laughing, and filming themselves inside the car, with one of them yelling “Hit the dash!” as the speedometer climbed to 116 MPH. The video has since gone viral, sparking intense conversations around drinking and driving, social media clout culture, and the irreversible consequences of reckless behavior.
The three women—Mathis, Pew, and Lewis—were pronounced dead at the scene. Belcher remains hospitalized in critical condition, fighting for her life. The Florida Highway Patrol continues to investigate the crash, while the footage continues to stir emotional responses across social media. Many are calling this tragedy a grim reminder of how fast everything can change—and why one bad decision behind the wheel can destroy multiple lives in an instant.
As the families grieve and the community reels from the loss, this devastating incident serves as a powerful wake-up call: no amount of fun is worth your life.
