Tallahassee, FL (November 2, 2020) - Two students at Florida State University were killed in a crash over the weekend. The accident took place around 7:30 p.m near Apalachee Parkway.

According to a report from the scene, Victor Pena and Sena Shearman were riding in a Kia Optima when they attempted to make a left turn. As they were turning, their vehicle was hit by a Ford F350 traveling the opposite direction. Speed appeared to be a factor in the collision as the Ford was traveling approximately 70 mph at the time the crash occurred. At this time, officers have not ruled out alcohol as a contributing cause in the crash. 

The accident is still under investigation at this time. There is no further information available.
