COCONUT CREEK, Fla. - Two people are dead after a car crashed into a retention pond along the Sawgrass Expressway and the northbound Florida's Turnpike ramp.

Just before 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Broward Sheriff's Office Department of Fire Rescue received a call about a car submerged in water.

Rescuers first attempted to rescue the three people inside the silver Honda, but divers were needed to remove the victims from the submerged vehicle. 

Divers from Coral Springs-Parkland and Margate-Coconut Creek fire departments assisted what BSO Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Michael Kane described as an "aggressive search."

"It appeared that once the vehicle exited onto the ramp to go (south on the) turnpike, the driver lost control and ended up going into the large body of water," Florida Highway Patrol Sgt. Vernon Slater said.

One of the people inside the car was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other two victims were taken to Broward Health North. The FHP later confirmed to Local 10 News that two people were dead.

The survivor of the crash, who was a minor, was listed in stable condition at Broward Health North.

One person was killed and two others critically injured after their vehicle crashed into a lake and became submerged in Deerfield Beach Tuesday, officials said.

The crash happened on the Sawgrass Expressway near the northbound Florida Turnpike ramp just before 6:30 p.m. Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue officials said.

When fire rescue crews responded, the vehicle was submerged in the lake about 20 yards from the roadway. Divers from Coral Springs-Parkland and Margate-Coconut Creek fire departments assisted Broward Sheriff firefighters in a search of the lake and found the three victims, two adults and possibly a teenager, officials said.

One of the adults was pronounced dead at the scene. The other two victims were taken to Broward Health North in very critical condition, officials said. Their identities weren't released.

The cause of the crash will be investigated by the Florida Highway Patrol.
