Three people were killed in a three-vehicle crash in Lake Wales Saturday night, deputies said.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said at about 9:50 p.m., Hannah Wieser, 22, of Winter Haven was driving her Ford Flex on State Road 60 when she tried to pass a van.
However, deputies said the woman ended up crashing head-on into a Ford F-150 east of CR-630 carrying a Port St. Lucie couple and their 3-year-old grandson. The van, which was carrying a family visiting Florida from England, then struck Wieser’s car but suffered minimal damage.
Wieser and the grandparents, identified as 54-year-old Luis Rodriguez and 52-year-old Jomar Maldonado, were killed in the collision. The 3-year-old, Jaydyn, was hospitalized and is expected to survive, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies said the Port St. Lucie family was coming home from a trip to Busch Gardens at the time of the crash.
