The Orange County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call at 10:47 a.m. on July 13 reporting a vehicle crash with injuries at the intersection of Western Way and Sugar Bell Drive — a location near Flamingo Crossings Village, the housing and hotel complex that is home to many Disney College Program participants. Scanner monitoring account @WDWActiveCrime shared the dispatch on X (formerly known as Twitter):

The level of location detail in this particular scanner report is unusual. Most emergency calls tied to Walt Disney World Resort are tracked under generalized property addresses rather than specific intersections.

How many people were injured and how seriously remains unknown. Whether those involved were Disney College Program participants, cast members, or individuals unrelated to Walt Disney World Resort hasn’t been established. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office rarely releases information about traffic accidents unless criminal charges are filed or a fatality is involved, making further details unlikely to emerge without one of those outcomes.

Walt Disney World Resort has not commented on the incident.
