According to the Cape Coral Police Department, Kyran Montes, 25, drove an Infiniti G37 at a high rate of speed into an elevated canal bank in Cape Coral, Florida, on the night of Oct. 5, 2020. The car flipped into the canal and was submerged when police officers arrived. Passenger Alex Pratt of Cape Coral died at the scene.
