Josh Cascio reports
WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. - Two Wesley Chapel teens passed away after a deadly crash that landed their vehicle in a retention pond.
The crash occurred Monday around 10:30 p.m. Florida Highway Patrol troopers said a 17-year-old boy was driving a 2003 Toyota Sequoia, heading north on Estancia Boulevard approaching the San Romano Drive intersection. A 17-year-old girl was a passenger.
Troopers said "for unknown reasons" the driver lost control and entered the west shoulder. Then, the Toyota ended up in a retention pond and submerged completely.
The Pasco Sheriff's Office dive team located the vehicle "several hours later," officials said. Both teens were found dead.
