Published: Updated:

Two people are dead after a crash at US 27 and Evercane Road around 4:09 p.m., said the Florida Highway Patrol.

Belle Glade residents Evylen Ziggler, 71, and Thelmakia Robinson, 20, were killed during the crash.

State troopers say Robinson was driving northbound on US 27 when her vehicle began to rotate across the outside lane and entered the grassy shoulder. The car then overturned into a canal. The vehicle came to a final rest on its roof in the canal, east of US 27, the FHP said.

Robinson was transported to St. Mary’s Medical Center in critical condition and later succumbed to her injuries. Ziggler died at the scene.
