Jimmy McIntosh, 18, and Hannah Wasserman, 17, died at the scene in Florida, according to cops. 

McIntosh was driving the car, while Wasserman was in the passenger seat.

Their SUV hit a tractor trailer that was trying to do a U-turn in the road.

Wasserman’s friends have paid a glowing tribute.

“Hannah was truly one of a kind: warm-hearted, kind, and always looking out for others,” devastated friends said in a GoFundMe post.

“She had a way of making everyone feel seen, heard, and loved.

“Whether it was a friend in need, a classmate having a rough day, or a stranger who needed a smile, Hannah showed up with compassion and care.”

Friends described Wasserman as a “bright light taken far too soon.”

Maisey O’Donnell, a diver who had picked up accolades in Massachusetts, was taken to the hospital where she died.

She was the state champion for women and had qualified for the USA and the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) National events.

Joe Chirico, O’Donnell’s diving coach, described her as one of the best divers in the country.

“The kids looked up to her,” he told WCVB-TV.

“The other divers looked up to her.

“It’s a tragedy that somebody at the top of their game, going to the best academic school, one of the best divers in the nation that has cut so short.”

O’Donnell was also an organ donor, according to Laurie Hunter, a school superintendent, said.

Another student was left critically injured following the smash, as reported by the NBC affiliate WBTS-CD.

Cops do not know if Wasserman, O’Donnell, and the passenger who was injured were wearing seat belts.

McIntosh was wearing a seat belt.

The driver of the tractor trailer, 19, was not injured.

The other passenger inside the car didn’t suffer any injuries as well.

Counseling services will be available for students at Concord-Carlisle High School.

Students are set to return following the break on Monday.
