6 killed in Osceola County crash on State Road 60, officials say

Florida Highway Patrol troopers responded to a head-on collision along State Road 60 west of South Kenansville Road that claimed the lives of six people on Saturday evening.

What we know:

According to troopers, the crash involved a 2024 Hyundai Tucson traveling westbound and a 2011 semi-truck with trailer heading eastbound. 

Preliminary investigation indicates that the driver of the Hyundai attempted to pass several vehicles by entering the eastbound lane. While trying to re-enter the westbound lane, the driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle.

Reports suggest that the left side of the Hyundai struck the front of the oncoming semi-truck, resulting in a fiery collision that engulfed both vehicles in flames. The impact caused the Hyundai to trap its occupants inside the burning vehicle.
