Mini Cooper Driver Identified After 80-Foot Plunge From I-4 Off-Ramp

Orlando police late Thursday morning released the identity of the 37-year-old man who plunged more than 80 feet into a pond when he lost control of his vehicle early Thursday morning. Eyewitnesses said they never even saw 37-year-old Scot A. Morrison's brake lights when he sped off the Universal exit along I-4.

A tow company pulled the Mini Cooper from the eight-foot deep pond Thursday morning. Investigators said Morrison was going way too fast when he got off on the I-4 Universal exit. Eyewitnesses said he cut off two other vehicles, flew over a grassy median, crashed into a guardrail and went airborne.

"It came out with the roof down and the wheels up," said Lt. Robert Anzueto, Orlando Police Department.

The car fell more than 80 feet into the pond.

"It's amazing we didn't have more fatalities because if that vehicle would've struck the victim's vehicle it could have been catastrophic," Anzueto added.

The same two eyewitnesses Morrison cut off called 911. Traffic homicide investigators said divers were in the water within minutes after they arrived. Investigators found the car submerged underwater and Morrison already dead.

"We had at least five or six divers that were actually in the water at the same time. They pulled the victim out and immediately tried to resuscitate him, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful," Anzueto said.

Traffic homicide investigators hope their investigation will unveil exactly how fast Morrison was going, but they may never know why. Investigators said they don't think Morrison was drinking and said he was wearing a seatbelt.
