ZEPHYRHILLS -- A little after 10 p.m. Friday, a silver car crossed the median of U.S. 301 in Zephyrhills and crashed, head-on, with a car full of teenagers, injuring all of them.

The driver of the 1996 silver two-door Acura was Wayne Bradford Roberts, 42, of Zephyrhills. He did not appear to have serious injuries, a Zephyrhills Police Department report said.

The second car was a 1998 two-door white Saturn driven by Kelley O'Brian, 18, of Dade City. Her passengers were Bethany Ann Clayton, 18, of San Antonio, a 16-year-old boy from Wesley Chapel and a 17-year-old boy from Trilby. All were flown to nearby hospitals, with O'Brian listed as having critical injuries.

All the teens are students at Pasco High School in Dade City, police said. The accident was under investigation Saturday.
