Friends and relatives are mourning the loss of Chris Thole, a former Lake Brantley High School football player and aspiring model.

Thole, 19, who graduated from the Seminole County high school in 2009, died Monday in a motorcycle crash outside a Longwood subdivision.

His friends posted dozens of comments on his Facebook page, as well as the ones for the high school and Twenty-Four Seven, the Winter Park fashion store where he often modeled clothes.

No one who posted on Facebook would speak to the Orlando Sentinel.

But Longwood resident Betty Miller, whose daughter attended Lake Brantley High, witnessed an emergency helicopter land at the Wekiva Golf Club course and transport Thole to the hospital.

"I am just devastated to hear that it was a young 19-year-old boy from Lake Brantley High School," Miller said. "It just kills me to know that one our children have passed."

She said the loss is "felt by the whole community."

Florida Highway Patrol detectives are investigating the crash.

Sgt. Kim Montes of the FHP said charges are pending in the case and preliminary reports show the other person involved in the crash most likely will face charges in the accident.

"We will have to go back and recreate the crash scene," Montes said. "But this is a typical scenario where a driver makes a left turn in front of a motorcycle that has the right of way."

Reports show Tory Carrol, 32, of Longwood, was driving her Honda Accord south on North Hunt Club Boulevard sometime around 8 p.m.

Thole was on his Suzuki motorcycle traveling north on the same roadway. Aerial views show the roadway has many curves and is divided by a tree-lined median.

As Carrol turned left onto Winchester Place, the front of Thole's motorcycle struck the side of her car. Montes said it is unclear if the trees and the winding road contributed to the crash.

Rescue crews transported Thole to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he died. FHP records show he was wearing a helmet.

Reports show Carrol was not injured in the crash.

Montes said alcohol did not play a role in the crash and it appears that Thole and Carrol were not speeding.
