The Orange County Sheriff’s Office logged the incident at 4:27 p.m. on September 23, receiving a 911 call describing a “Vehicle Crash With Injuries” at EPCOT. Law enforcement monitoring account @WDWActiveCrime shared the scanner details on X (formerly known as Twitter), writing:

The Google Maps screenshot attached to the post marks the location near EPCOT’s main entrance, close to Spaceship Earth in the World Celebration neighborhood. That location, however, often serves as a generalized reference point for logging law enforcement calls at EPCOT, consistent with the standard practice of recording incidents under broad park or hotel addresses rather than the exact coordinates of the actual event.
Unanswered Questions
Neither Walt Disney World Resort nor the Orange County Sheriff’s Office has commented on the crash as of this report. It remains unclear whether those involved were Disney cast members, theme park guests, or individuals with no connection to the Central Florida vacation destination who happened to be passing through.
Disney is unlikely to issue a public statement on the matter, though the Orange County Sheriff’s Office could share more information later if criminal charges are filed against anyone connected to the crash. Specific details about injuries and their severity typically stay private unless the incident results in a fatality.
Impact on Your Visit
Despite the crash, EPCOT appears to be functioning normally for guests already in the park. Those traveling to or from the area, however, may encounter traffic delays or detours due to the afternoon collision. Walt Disney World Resort guests are encouraged to follow any instructions from authorities and drive cautiously through affected areas.
