The driver in the car eventually lost control of the car, which caused it to cross the median into a construction area that didn&#8217;t have barriers, investigators said. The car continued to slide across into the westbound lanes of Interstate-4. Shortly after, it smashed into the right side of the van. The driver of the car and the passenger were thrown from the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both men died at the crash location, deputies said. The driver has not been identified.
