Sad news. :(
One motorist died and another suffered serious injuries when their cars collided head-on on Walt Disney World's road network early today.

Kuang Wu was pronounced dead at the scene of the 12:30 a.m. crash near the intersection of Vista Boulevard and World Drive, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Wu, 60, of Orlando, was driving west on Vista Drive when Phillip Stitzer lost control of his eastbound vehicle and swerved into the westbound lanes striking Wu's vehicle, troopers said.

Stitzer, 24, of Orlando, was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center, troopers said. He remained in critical condition at midday today.

The crash is under investigation.

Not to sound callous, but isn't it amazing that these things happen all the time, but if it happens in Disney it's big news?

I feel horible for anyone (and the family/friends) involved in such a thing, but I wonder how many more people were in fatal crashes in Orlando that night?

Sad.
