Orange County, FL (August 25, 2018) – A man from Orlando died on Friday after his car plunged into a pond. The accident happened just before 9:00 pm at Isle of Wright Drive and South Orange Blossom Trail.
The Florida Highway Patrol was called to the scene to investigate. When Troopers arrived, they discovered the vehicle in the water and began a search and rescue effort. Eventually, officers found a man trapped inside the vehicle. The man, who has now been identified as Luis Melendez Morales, was pronounced dead at Florida Hospital Kissimmee.
The accident is still under investigation and there is no further information at this time.
Over 250,000 people were hurt in Florida car accidents last year. Car accident take place for a variety of reasons, including speeding distracted driving, and impaired driving.
This crash remains under investigation and we do not know what caused Luis Morales to plunge into the water. Police will closely investigate in an effort to determine how the accident occurred. Ultimately, their findings will shed much more light on the cause for this crash. In the meantime, our thoughts and condolences are with the family of Luis Morales.
