Three children and an adult were killed in a horrific accident in Florida this weekend after a teen drove over a stop sign, police say.
The quadruple fatality happened Sunday night in Poinciana at the intersection of San Miguel Street at Laurel Avenue.
The 50-year-old female driver and three children aged one, nine and eleven were killed in the collision. A 52-year-old man was also seriously injured.
Florida Highway Patrol said the crash was caused by the teenage driver failing to stop at a stop sign while driving.
The teen was reportedly driving a 2012 Chevrolet Impala, which had three other 15-year-old boys in it.

The front of his car collided with the left side of the family’s SUV, a 2022 Honda HR-V, which then spun out and hit a light pole.
The driver of the SUV and a child were pronounced dead at the scene. The two other children died in hospital, according to authorities.
The teenage driver was taken to hospital with serious injuries, as were his three passengers, who had non-life-threatening injuries.
Witness Michele Torres told Click Orlando that people often ignore stop signs on Laurel Avenue, which is “known for speeding.”
She told the local news station that she helped the teen driver, calmed him down and made sure he stayed on scene.
“That’s all he kept asking me, ‘Am I going to jail? Ma’am, am I going to jail?’ Torres claimed.
Florida Highway Patrol will investigate the deadly crash.
It is not clear whether the teenage driver will have to press charges.
Additional details were not immediately available.
