Two people were found dead Friday inside a car that crashed into a Nassau County retention pond.

According to the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office, a silver Ford Mustang was found in a pond on Wind Chime Lane near U.S. 1. The Sheriff’s Office said the car was traveling on Wind Chime Lane, a dead-end road, early Friday morning when it crashed through an area of signage and fenced portion of a retention pond and went into the pond.

The two people inside the car were described as a 23-year-old male driver and a 17-year-old female passenger. The Sheriff’s Office said it believes they are friends and locals and is continuing to investigate.
