Three students from Horizon Christian Academy were killed on Monday, April 7, 2026, in a fiery vehicle crash in Franklin County, Florida, while traveling on spring break. A fourth student survived the accident and remains hospitalized in critical condition.

Authorities have identified the deceased students as 18-year-old Jackson Mobley of Cumming, 17-year-old Jaylyn Fehr of Cumming, and 16-year-old Charlotte Martin of Cumming. The students were traveling to St. George Island to visit friends and family at the time of the incident.

Rescue and Recovery Efforts

A 17-year-old student from Alpharetta, identified as Jamison Mobley, survived the initial crash. Witnesses and Good Samaritans stopped at the scene and were able to remove her from the front right passenger seat before the vehicle became fully engulfed in flames.

Jamison Mobley was airlifted to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. As of Wednesday, April 9, 2026, she remains hospitalized in critical condition.

The driver and the other two passengers were unable to exit the vehicle and were pronounced deceased at the scene.

Official Statements and Community Response

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office released a statement and a video message on Wednesday expressing condolences to the families. The office described the victims as talented athletes, exceptional students, and, above all, kind-hearted individuals whose lives touched many.

The sheriff noted that while the cause of the crash has not yet been confirmed, it appears the vehicle entered the other lane before hitting the tree. Authorities have not released information regarding the speed of the vehicle at the time of the accident.

Horizon Christian Academy, a private institution in Cumming, confirmed that all four individuals were students at the school. The academy described the students as amazing, kind, smart, and loved.
