WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. – Two Wesley Chapel teens have died after crashing into a retention pond, according to Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers say the teens, a 17-year-old male, and a 17-year-old female, were in a 2003 Toyota Sequoia, traveling northbound on Estancia Boulevard approaching San Romano Drive.
Investigators say the male driver lost control of the vehicle and entered the west shoulder. The vehicle entered a retention pond and submerged completely.
Members of the Pasco Sheriff’s Office Dive Team located the vehicle several hours later with both occupants having suffered fatal injuries.
