FORT MYERS, Fla. (NEWSnet/AP) — Five teenagers were killed when their car ran off a curving street and landed in a southwest Florida retention pond where it went underwater, authorities said.

It happened either late Sunday or early Monday, killing everyone inside.

The crumpled Kia sedan was pulled from the water on Monday.

Four of the five worked together at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant, and had gone out together to get fast food after finishing their Sunday night shifts.

The steakhouse was closed Monday so their friends and families could grieve together at a dinner where flowers were placed alongside their framed pictures.
