Nine members of one family were killed and another injured when Driver Pamela Wiggins failed to negotiate a turn and crashed into a Florida canal.
Nine family members were killed — including several young children — when a packed SUV on Monday ran off a South Florida road, crashed into a guardrail and landed upside down in a canal, officials said.
Only one passenger survived the deadly wreck and was hospitalized in serious condition.
“I’ve been with the department for 20 years, and this is one of the most difficult scenes I’ve been on,” Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Capt. Tom Reyes said.
The tragedy occurred around 7:30 p.m. as the four adults and six children from out of state passed through Belle Glade and came to a sharp left curve, the Palm Beach Sherrif’s Office said.
