Five children heading to Disney killed in fiery Florida crash By TERRY SPENCER AND FREIDA FRISARO Associated Press FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The church van packed with children was headed south — with just an hour to go to Walt Dis- ney World — when it got caught in a fiery pileup involving two 18-wheel- ers. Seven people, including five of the youngsters, died in the crash. On Friday, investiga- tors were trying to deter- mine what triggered the accident the previous after- noon on Interstate 75 near Gainesville. “It’s unbelievable. Everybody is in shock. We lost five of our children.” Maxine Doughty, church member The Florida High- way Patrol said two vehi- cles traveling north — a tractor-trailer and a car — smashed into each other and then burst through a metal guardrail, slamming into another semitrailer and the van carrying the children. Diesel fuel leaked and the mass erupted into a fireball. A fifth car, unable to avoid the chaos, sped through, possibly hitting victims ejected from the The Gainesville Sun/Lauren Bacho A worker looks at a charred semitruck after a wreck with multiple fatalities on Interstate 75, south of Alachua, near Gainesville, Fa., Thursday. vehicles, the highway patrol said. Five of the children, ranging from about 8 to teenagers — from a Pente- costal church in Marksville, Louisiana — and the two truck drivers died. At least eight others were injured, some seriously. “It is a heartbreaking event,” Lt. Patrick Riordan said Friday. He did not iden- tify the church involved, but a member of the Avoyelles House of Mercy told The Gainesville Sun on Friday that her church was stunned. “It’s unbelievable. Everybody is in shock. We lost five of our children,” church member Maxine Doughty said. “We had our Last Supper Sunday and the pastor said to live our lives like each day is the last day.” Church officials did not immediately respond to phone calls. A pregnant woman who was among those injured delivered a baby, according to a message posted on the Facebook page of the Light- house United Pentecostal Church Omaha and signed by Kevin V. Cox, the Pen- tecostal church’s Louisiana district superintendent.
