Three dead, including two teens, in Lake City hit-and-run; driver arrested

A weekend crash on U.S. Highway 90 in Lake City has claimed three lives after 15-year-old Mae Waters died at the hospital on Wednesday, joining 16-year-old Mya Raulerson and 44-year-old Bonnie Jean Welker. Investigators say 31-year-old Jaron Carr was driving an F-150 at high speed when it struck a turning minivan at the intersection of Northwest Centurion Court, then fled the scene before being located at a nearby hotel. Carr faces charges including leaving the scene of a crash and driving with a suspended license, and also has active warrants from Brevard County and Missouri.
