Three teens killed in Spring Break crash, and DPS officials say the driver was distracted.

"This is just so unexpected. I mean, since it happened, I just wanted to do something just to make her proud because I always told her I wanted to do something that was big that people would remember me for," said close friend Deon'te Lagway about Jade Robinson.
