BAY LAKE, Fla. — An overhead sign fell Saturday afternoon when a motorist crashed an SUV into a pole near Epcot at Walt Disney World, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

The crash happened shortly before 3:15 p.m. on World and Epcot Center drives a Dodge Durango left the roadway and struck a guardrail, FHP Sgt. Kim Montes said.

The SUV then struck a pole, which caused an overhead sign to fall onto the road, Montes said.
