5 -teens dead after car found submerged in Fort Myers, Florida; 4 had just ended work shift.’

A fifth person, as of yet not publicly identified, was also in the car.

According to Kristen Capuzzi, a police department spokeswoman, sometime overnight between 10:30 p.m. Sunday and early Monday, a car crashed into a retention pond and was submerged.

She said the teens, all 18 or 19 years old, apparently lost control of a small, black Kia sedan near Topgolf and Interstate 75.

“It took a long time to get it out,” Capuzzi said of the car Tuesday afternoon. The five were declared dead at the scene.

A Texas Roadhouse Snapchat post identified the co-workers as Amanda Ferguson, Eric Paul, Breanna Coleman and Jackson Eyre. It did not list the fifth person.

Jackson Eyre graduated from South Fort Myers High School this spring. He was set to attend Fort Myers Technical College in the fall.

Bonita Springs High School Assistant Principal Rachel Eyre, Jackson’s mother, had tweeted out a photo Sunday thanking Texas Roadhouse for gifting her son with a portrait of himself and a to-go mug with his name emblazoned on it as a graduation gift.
