A fifth person, as of yet not publicly identified, was also in the car.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
She said the teens, all 18 or 19 years old, apparently lost control of a small, black Kia sedan near Topgolf and Interstate 75.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt took a long time to get it out,\u201d Capuzzi said of the car Tuesday afternoon. The five were declared dead at the scene.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Jackson Eyre graduated from South Fort Myers High School this spring. He was set to attend Fort Myers Technical College in the fall.<\/p>\n
Bonita Springs High School Assistant Principal Rachel Eyre, Jackson\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
