The crash killed the male driver and seven passengers-- four male and three female, eighteen people were in the 15-seat-capacity van when it crashed about 12:30 a.m.. Ten other passengers were taken to the hospital for treatment of whom one is a 4- year old child. People traveling in the van came from Fort Pierce, who were returning to the Independent Haitian Assembly of God after celebrating Palm Sunday trip in a Fort Myers church and were preparing for the upcoming Easter holiday after a recent fast. The police is investing the exact cause of the accident.
