Car, Bus, and SUV Involved in Deadly Crash
It is the kind of news no one wants to hear. Late last night, State troopers responded to reports of a crash on East Buena Vista Drive. This morning, Florida Highway Patrol released more details of the crash.
According to investigators, the incident started when a driver of a Subaru Impreza lost control of his vehicle. The driver was traveling westbound on Buena Vista Drive. Once the driver lost control, it veered left, spun, and eventually hit a concrete curb.

The Subaru and the bus collided, and the driver of the Subaru, a 33-year-old from Kissimmee, was unfortunately killed at the site of the crash. The bus driver, 53, sustained minor injuries but walked away mostly unscathed.
