Nine killed and one injured after SUV flips into Florida canal

Overloaded vehicle carrying 10 people went off road, hit a guardrail and partially submerged in water, authorities said

Nine people died and one more was seriously injured when an overloaded SUV went out of control on a south Florida road, hit a guardrail and went upside down into a canal, authorities said.

The 2023 Ford Explorer carrying 10 people was traveling south on Hatton Highway near the farming community of Belle Glade at about 7.30pm on Monday when it came to a part of the two-lane road that briefly jogs west before again heading south, the Palm Beach county sheriff's office said.
