What they're saying:

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office released a statement along with a video on Wednesday.

"Jackson, Jaylyn, and Charlotte were wonderful young individuals and students who were deeply loved by their families, friends, classmates, teammates, teachers, church communities, and everyone who knew them," the post reads in part. "They were talented athletes, exceptional students, and, above all, kind-hearted individuals whose lives touched many."

The sheriff’s office also lamented how Jamison faces a long road to recovery made particularly hard by the loss of her brother and closest friends.

"We ask the community to keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she moves forward on the road to recovery," the post continues.

The sheriff’s office once again praised the Good Samaritans who stopped to help. "Their bravery saved a life, and their willingness to step into an unknown and dangerous situation reflects true selflessness," the post states.

The sheriff asked the communities in Florida and Georgia to join in thoughts and prayers as the families and friends "navigate unimaginable loss."

"The grief being experienced in Georgia is deeply felt here in Franklin County as well. When a life is lost in our community, no matter where someone calls home, we feel that loss together," the post reads.

The backstory:

Authorities say the teens were traveling along Highway 65 in Franklin County on Monday when the crash happened. It appears the students were traveling in a Jeep that left the road and crashed into the trees. The Jeep caught fire after the crash.

All four of the teens attended Horizon Christian Academy in Forsyth County.

What's next:

The sheriff’s office is placing crosses at the accident site bearing the names of Jackson, Jaylyn, and Charlotte as a small memorial in their honor.

"Life is precious, and we would like to honor their lives and memories here in our community," the post reads.
