A Palm Coast teenager was killed Saturday, March 26, when she overcorrected her car along Highway U.S. 1, south of Bunnell, and collided with trees, according to officials.
Shaklyia Chess, 16, of Palm Coast, was driving southbound on U.S. 1 around 11:50 p.m. when she veered into the median, according to the Florida Highway Patrol report.
As the car neared the median, Chess corrected the vehicle to the right and crossed all southbound lanes to the west-side shoulder. The car then spun counter-clockwise, and the right side of the vehicle collided with trees, according to the report.
