HUDSON -- Two of three teenagers injured Friday in a head-on collision that killed a 16-year-old Hudson girl were released Saturday from the hospital.
Sarah Marie Stevens, of 7615 Mako Drive, died Friday afternoon when the 1985 Chrysler she was driving struck a white, 2000 Jeep sport utility vehicle driven by a 52-year-old Hudson man.
The accident happened about 6:40 p.m. on Hicks Road, a few hundred yards north of Veterans Memorial Park, almost directly across from Harvest Baptist Church.
Officials said one vehicle crossed the center line of the two-lane road, but they did not say which one. Florida Highway Patrol was continuing its investigation of the accident.
Passenger Patrick Marble, 14, of 7615 Mako Drive, Hudson, was released at 6:57 p.m. Saturday from Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg. Sheena St. Pierre, 17, of 7941 Gulf Way, Hudson, was released from Bayfront at 4:56 p.m.
The remaining passenger, Grace Fields, 17, of 7615 Mako Drive, Hudson, remained in the hospital Saturday evening. Hospital officials said they could not disclose her condition because she is a minor and no parents were present to give consent.
The driver of the Jeep, Dennis Ray Cook, of 10301 Hudson Ave., Hudson, remained at Bayfront Saturday evening and was listed in fair condition.
