VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — Three people were killed and two were injured in a wrong-way crash on I-95 near Daytona Beach Tuesday night, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

On Wednesday, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office released body cam footage of deputies rushing to help the victims of the crash.

Sheriff's Office officials said deputies were pursuing a vehicle driven by an armed carjacking suspect fleeing from Flagler County at about 7 p.m.

When the suspect made a U-turn on I-95 in the area of Exit 260A, deputies stopped the pursuit and attempted to stop oncoming southbound traffic, the Sheriff's Office said.

The suspect started driving north in the southbound lanes of the interstate and hit another vehicle, an SUV, head on, investigators said.

“He’s gotta be doing probably 100, and the vehicle containing our four victims, two of which were killed on impact ... those kids are coming back from Christmas lights at the Speedway," Sheriff Mike Chitwood said Wednesday. "And they are following their family and the family get on I-4, they miss the exit at the same time that this murdering thug is barreling the wrong way on I-95 and he hits them head on." 

Two people in that SUV, 21-year-old and 18-year-old siblings from Wisconsin, were killed in the crash, as was the suspect, troopers said. 

The pair's 13-year-old brother and 17-year-old cousin were seriously injured in the crash.

One of the two injured teens was taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and the other was taken to Halifax Health Medical Center.

Chitwood said his heart went out to the family members of the crash victims.

"I just can't imagine being a parent and a grandparent, how that family feels right now," he said.

Investigators are still not releasing details about that armed carjacking, the name of the suspect – or the conditions of those two surviving victims.

Chitwood did say that the suspect has a lengthy criminal record.

“This is his criminal history, and he is out walking amongst us — 200 pages, carjacking, home invasion, robbery, he got out of jail last year, state prison stint for grand theft,” Chitwood said.

Chitwood said his deputies did everything they could to stop the crash and only engaged the suspect when they had to.

“Nobody put this guy at 120 miles an hour with no headlights on I-95, we’ve got to do something," Chitwood said. "It wasn’t stopping no matter what. We certainly did not make him turn around, so law enforcement did everything they could humanely possibly do."

Now, his thoughts are with the family going into the New Year with broken hearts.

"This time of the year and every time of the year you should maybe hold your family a little closer … because some family is not doing that tonight,” Chitwood said. 

According to VCSO, a search warrant is being executed on the suspect’s stolen car. Florida Highway patrol is still investigating.
