FHP: 2 women die in head-on crash on GreeneWay in Orange County

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Two women died early Monday in a head-on crash on State Road 417 near University Boulevard in Orange County, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

Jahqui Sevilla, 20, of Orlando, was driving south at about 12:30 a.m. when she lost control of her Mitsubishi Lancer and crashed head-on into a northbound Dodge Durango driven by Soroya Matias-Roth, 53, of Lakeland, Sgt. Kim Montes said.

The collision caused Sevilla's car to roll over, Montes said.

See footage of the crash scene below:

Sevilla and Matias-Roth were taken to Florida Hospital East, where they died, investigators said.

Troopers said three people who were riding in the Dodge were taken to a hospital with injuries that weren't life-threatening.

Investigators said they're trying to determine whether Sevilla was under the influence of alcohol.

The road has since been reopened, investigators said.

The crash remains under investigation.

No other details were given.
