A 17-year-old girl died Sunday night in Nassau County after a wrong-way crash with another teen driver on County Road 121 at Batten Road, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

FHP, which does not release the names of crash victims, said the girl was headed north on CR 121 just before 10 p.m. Sunday in an SUV when a pickup truck headed south entered her lane.

The 16-year-old boy driving the truck “failed to keep a single lane” and the left front of his truck hit the left front of the girl’s SUV, troopers said.

Both teens are from Bryceville.

The boy, who was not wearing a seat belt, suffered minor injuries. The girl, who was wearing a seat belt, died at the scene, FHP said.

Correction:

Due to incorrect information from the original FHP report, the girl's age and the time of the crash were previously listed incorrectly.
