A Volusia County teen has been charged and sentenced for vehicular homicide in a fatal car surfing accident, the State Attorney for Volusia County said Friday.

Two teens died when driver Joshua Ritter, 19, lost control of the vehicle last February, causing it to roll over and burst into flames.

"I can't start to explain how sorry I am for everything that happened," said a remorseful Ritter on the stand. "I am so sorry to all the families. I'll never forget what happened and I'll try to do whatever I can to make it right."

Ritter entered an open plea of no contest to the two vehicular homicide charges and a reckless driving charge. He was sentenced to one year of house arrest and five years of probation.

Volusia County Sheriff's officials said the teen who was riding on the running board died at the scene. A second teen died at Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach. Deputies believe he was trying to get back inside the vehicle.

The victims have been identified as 18-year-old Carlos Velazco and Hunter Perez.

"This will be over for everybody after today, but I'll be wearing this black for the rest of my life," said Perez's tearful mother, Robin Parker as she wore black on the stand.

Two other passengers, 17-year old Ryan Jenkins and 18-year old Kenyanna Hawkins, were hospitalized, as was Ritter.

According to a press release from State Attorney R.J. Larizza, the families of  Velazco, Hawkins and Jenkins were all opposed to charges being filed against Ritter, but Perez's mother felt strongly that all people involved should be charged.

"The families of the victims and of all those involved in this case will carry the scars from this tragic event with them for the rest of their lives," State Attorney Larizza said. "If there is to be something positive to come out of this tragedy, it should be that teenagers and parents alike learn and acknowledge the dangerous and deadly consequences that flow from the reckless practice known as car surfing and that our teenage children will not engage in such perilous activities."

The State Attorney's Office said there was no legal basis to file charges against Hawkins or Jenkins because a passenger cannot be charged for the reckless actions of the driver, according to Florida law.
