BROOKSVILLE - Two people were killed and three others hurt in a three-car crash early Saturday on Shoal Line Boulevard, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

A sport utility vehicle and a van crashed about 2:30 a.m., then another van crashed into the first, troopers said.

The 1996 Chevrolet SUV, driven by Lorrey A. Richard, 21, of Spring Hill, was in the northbound lane of Shoal Line Boulevard and crossed into the southbound lane and into the path of a 2003 Ford van driven by MacKenzie Shipe, 19, of Weeki Wachee, the patrol said.

After the van and SUV collided, a 1997 Mercury van heading south behind the Ford van, driven by Carri A. Goldstein, 30, of Spring Hill, hit the Ford van, troopers said.

Two passengers in the Ford, Bryan Riggs, 23, of Weeki Wachee, and Ashley N. Barnett, 20, of Spring Hill, died at the scene, troopers said.

Richard was being treated for serious injuries at St. Joseph's Hospital; Shipe was being treated for serious injuries at Oak Hill Hospital; Goldstein was being treated for serious injuries at Spring Hill Hospital. A passenger in Goldstein's van, Jason C. Goldstein, 34, of Spring Hill, was not hurt, troopers said.

Investigators were uncertain as to why the SUV crossed into the wrong lane. No charges were filed.
