LAKELAND, Fla. — The Polk County Sheriff’s Office says a child has died in a fiery car crash in Lakeland Thursday night.

PCSO said around 5 p.m., a Winter Haven man was driving a Kia sedan with his two children. The car was westbound on Broadway when it drove through the intersection of Lake Parker Drive E. and into a grassy wooded area and collided with a tree.

Authorities said the car caught fire and the Polk County Fire Department responded to the incident. PCSO said a witness and the driver tried to get the children out of the back seat of the car. One child was successfully removed, but the other died in the fire.

Officials said the driver, the surviving child and the witness were all taken to the hospital to be treated for burns.
