Two Lakeland men are dead after a crash on State Road 60 in the southern part of the county.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers said Alexander Herrera was traveling westbound on S.R. 60 when he lost control of the Toyota Matrix in the rain.
The Matrix crossed into the eastbound lanes and into the path of Wade and Brenda Neely, who are from Port St. Lucie.
The front of the Neely’s Chrysler struck the right side of the Matrix.
Troopers said the Matrix then traveled onto the southbound shoulder of S.R. 60 where it partially overturned. Herrera was ejected.
Herrara, 37, and his passenger, 38-year-old Misael Alonso, were pronounced dead on the scene.
The Neelys were taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center with critical and serious injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.
