A Florida high school student has died after he was in a car crash hours after his graduation.
Hendry Aceituno Gudiño, 18, of Riviera Beach, was with his girlfriend and her father when the fatal crash occurred in Martin County on Saturday, May 17, according to NBC affiliate WPTV and FOX affiliate WFLX.
Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said the car slammed into a guardrail near the Martin Highway exit after the 52-year-old driver lost control of the vehicle, CBS affiliate WPEC reported.
Both the driver and Hendry were pronounced dead at the scene, per WPTV. The 16-year-old girl who was also inside the vehicle was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Hendry had reportedly graduated from Boca Raton Community High School just hours before the crash occurred. He was returning home from a celebratory dinner when the crash took place.
The teen and his mom, Anielka Gudiño, moved to Florida from Venezuela in 2023, according to WPTV. Anielka told the station that her son “had a whole life ahead of him.”
“It’s a tragic death, and I think nobody deserves to die like that,” Anielka said. “Very painful. Everything is painful. A teen full of life, 18 years old.”
