Three people are dead after car accident in Lakeland, Florida.

Lakeland police said 26-year-old Michael Marrero lost control of his vehicle Saturday and crossed into oncoming traffic on U.S. 98. Marrero struck a Nissan driven by 22-year-old Christopher Stewart.

Stewart's vehicle ran off the road and rolled over. Stewart and 22-year-old passenger Kathrin R. Pitock were declared dead at the scene. Both were Lakeland residents.  A third passenger died at a hospital. Police said Sunday the third victim hadn't been positively identified.

Marrero was taken to a hospital. Police did not release his condition. Police did not say if Marrero will be charged.   This looks like a drunk or reckless driving.
