A 36-year-old employee at the Exotics Course at Walt Disney World Speedway was killed Sunday after a Lamborghini in which he was riding crashed into a guardrail.
The crash happened around 3:30 p.m., according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The driver of the car "failed to maneuver the vehicle through the course," said Sgt. Kim Montes, of the Florida Highway Patrol. The driver then lost control of the car, and the right side of the Lamborghini struck the guardrail.
The passenger, who has been identified as Gary Terry, of Davenport, was pronounced dead at the scene. Petty Holdings LLC, which operates the Exotics Course at Walt Disney World Speedway, said Terry was a driving instructor and senior operations manager at the Exotic Driving Experience.
The driver of the car, 24-year-old Tavon Watson, of Kissimmee, was transported to Florida Hospital Celebration Health with minor injuries, Montes said.
A spokeswoman for Petty Holdings said all operations at the speedway would be closed Monday and Tuesday.
