The crash remains under investigation but the initial findings from the FHP show that the pickup was traveling south on Plymouth Sorrento Road and for an unknown reason drove into the northbound lanes striking the SUV head on.

The FHP said the 17-year-old was pronounced dead at AdventhHealth in Apopka. The other driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, according to the crash report. Both drivers were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash.

Northbound and southbound lanes of Plymouth Sorrento were closed Wednesday morning in the area.
