Two Florida residents lost their lives in a tragic two-vehicle car accident in central Florida near the exit for Walt Disney World off Interstate 4, according to the Florida Highway Patrol via WFTV 9.
Late in the evening on Monday, December 6, just before 11:00 p.m. local time, per Florida Highway Patrol officers, two different vehicles, a sedan and an SUV, were traveling in a westbound direction on Interstate 4 near mile marker number 62, which is the Celebration/Walt Disney World Resort exit.
For reasons unknown at this time, the sedan veered to the right, causing the passenger side of the sedan to strike the left rear section of the SUV.
It was at this time that the SUV rolled over and ejected the two female passengers inside the vehicle, a 54-year-old woman from Riverview, Florida, and a 59-year-old woman from Wimauma, Florida.
Rescue crews arrived to the scene of the tragedy shortly thereafter, but sadly, one of the passengers involved in the car accident passed away at the scene of the deadly crash, and the other passenger passed away at AdventHealth Celebration Hospital.
At the time of this publication, it’s unclear whether the other vehicle’s driver was alone or if there was a passenger in the vehicle as well. It is also unclear whether anyone in the other vehicle sustained an injury in the fatal car accident.
It is also unclear whether traffic issues or alcohol played any role in the deadly crash. The crash remains under police investigation.
