Credit: Google Maps Two teenagers were killed after a late Wednesday night rollover crash sent their car flying into a pond off Sumter Boulevard in North Port. According to the North Port Police Department, units responded to a reported rollover crash in the pond at northbound Sumter Boulevard just north of Lorri Circle around 10:20 p.m. An off-duty NPPD officer heard the crash from his house and entered the water with the North Port Fire Department, but their efforts to free the entrapped occupants, a 17-year-old driver and their 16-year-old passenger, were unsuccessful. A black 2010 Honda Accord was towed from the water and NPFD pronounced the teenagers dead at 10:52 p.m. An investigation showed that the car entered the curve at a high rate of speed, lost traction and entered a slide before vaulting off the bridge railing and flying upside down into the pond. The investigation is ongoing.
