Hunter’s mother, Carly Lemmon, tells CBS 58 he was a singer and recently performed at Disney World with his high school acapella group.

“It hurts everyone,” said Oliva Weis, a classmate of the teens. “Everyone’s heartbroken.”

Police say the car was traveling at a high rate of speed-when it crashed and burst in to flames. One nearby neighbor says this isn't the first fatal accident on the road

“It can be very dangerous, especially at high speeds,” said Bill Bingen, who lives down the road. “The posted speed limit is 35. Even if you go 45 you can feel your stomach go.”

Hunter's mother tells CBS 58, "There are no words to say except he was my perfect sweet boy."
