WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Tragic Crash in Florida Leaves 3 Women Dead, 1 Fighting for Her Life — All Caught on Video Moments Before A devastating reminder of how quickly life can change is shaking up Florida this week, after a single-vehicle crash in Lake County left three women dead and another woman in critical condition early Sunday morning. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the crash happened around 3:16 a.m. on State Road 19, just south of Saint Florian Lane. The vehicle, a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee, was reportedly being driven by 30-year-old Shaykaylah Mathis of Mount Dora. Her passengers were Kaneisha Lewis, 32, Aqutavia Pew, 28, and a 26-year-old woman from Eustis, whose name hasn’t yet been released. Moments before the crash, one of the women reportedly shared a video on social media showing the group inside the SUV, drinking and blasting loud music. It was a night out, full of laughter and high energy — until it wasn’t. According to the crash report, the Jeep was headed north on S.R. 19 when Mathis failed to negotiate a left-hand curvein the road. The SUV ran off the right side of the highway, struck a pole, and overturned multiple times. None of the four women were wearing seat belts, and all were ejected from the vehicle. Mathis, Lewis, and Pew died at the scene. The fourth woman was transported to a local hospital in critical condition. The Florida Highway Patrol is still investigating, but the early details paint a heartbreaking — and all too familiar — picture: a late-night ride, likely under the influence, no seat belts, and lives lost in an instant. Let’s be real: this isn’t just a “news story.” It’s a wake-up call. As women in our 20s and 30s, we all know the joy of those girls’ nights, the “just one more song!” energy, the spontaneous car concerts. But this tragedy reminds us that one wrong decision — or one missed click of a seatbelt — can be the difference between going home and never making it back. No one’s here to judge. We’ve all had close calls, made risky decisions, or thought “we’re fine.” But when stories like this hit, they hit hard — especially when they involve Black women, joyfully living their lives one minute, and gone the next. To the families, friends, and the lone survivor: our hearts are with you. And to the rest of us still here — this is your reminder to pause. Wear the seatbelt. Call the Uber. Protect your people when they can’t see the danger. Life is too fragile for ego or “I’m good.” This was a night that started in laughter and ended in tragedy. Let it not be in vain.
