ST. LUCIE COUNTY — A colorful memorial paying tribute to the five people who died in a horrific Black Friday crash just outside of Fort Pierce continued to grow Sunday afternoon as the community awaits the identification of the dead.

Five people were killed about 10:41 p.m. Friday when their pickup burst into flames after being rear-ended and rammed into the car ahead, according to Florida Highway Patrol.

At the memorial southwest of the deadly intersection were stuffed animals, bouquets of flowers, Haitian flags, balloons, rosary beads, a bottle of tequila and dozens of candles, as well as photos of those believed lost and printouts of text messages exchanged with them.

People continued to add to the sidewalk monument throughout the afternoon. Some of those present said they knew the victims. Others were community members who simply wished to pay their respects upon hearing the news.

People from both groups shed tears together, voicing devastation at the incomprehensible loss.

All three vehicles involved in the crash were driving south on South 25th Street approaching Midway Road, state troopers said.

About a quarter-mile from the intersection, rows of large orange cones began to line the roadway. The speed limit appeared to be 30 mph.

Tanner Ray Dashner, 21, of Fort Pierce, drove a 2004 GMC Yukon, approaching the two other vehicles at the busy intersection. He was going much faster than those two vehicles, according to FHP.

The SUV slammed into a 2002 Dodge Dakota, leading the pickup to crash into the 2003 BMW 325i in front of it.

State troopers said the Dakota burst into flames, killing all five people inside.

Troopers on Sunday continued to work on positive identification of all the victims and notification of the next of kin, according to FHP spokesman Lt. Al Feola.

Dashner was listed Saturday in critical condition. Feola said he had not been notified of any changes in his condition Sunday.

Tests to determine whether alcohol was involved are pending. The crash remains under investigation.

Two occupants of the BMW, which was pushed several hundred feet from the initial impact, escaped relatively unscathed. The driver, Dalton Young, 27, of Port St. Lucie, was not hurt. A passenger, Sarah Anderson, 30, had minor injuries.
