A man and woman in their 20s were killed early Tuesday when their SUV overturned into a pond just outside Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

The passenger, a 28-year-old Louisiana woman, was pronounced dead at the scene in Kissimmee.

The driver, a 25-year-old Valrico man, died later at a hospital in Celebration.

The accident took place about 2:24 a.m. as the man driving the 2018 Nissan Rogue west on U.S. 192 near World Drive failed to negotiate a curve and left the roadway.
