A Moultrie, Ga., couple and their 1-year-old daughter were killed in a two-vehicle crash in Florida early Sunday morning while on their way to Walt Disney World.

Thomas Garza, 23, Lillian Luna, 20, and their daughter, Brianna, died after their Nissan Maxima was rear-ended by a Mercedes SUV in Lake County, Fla., around 4 a.m., according to the Florida Highway Patrol, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

They were taking a trip to the amusement park and to the beach for Labor Day weekend, family members told the newspaper.

Garza and Luna died at the scene and their daughter died at a hospital.

The driver of the Mercedes was identified as James Dameron, 24, of Orlando. He was reportedly taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

No charges have been filed. Sgt. Kim Montes asked that anyone with information about the collision contact the highway patrol at 407-737-2213.
