A Florida mother and her two young children are dead after authorities say their minivan became submerged in a pond.
Authorities say 27-year-old Shatoria Michelle Brown, of Immokalee, was driving the children late Saturday when their vehicle went over the shoulder of the roadway and into the pond.
A highway patrol report said Brown's body was found in the water outside the submerged minivan. Her two children, 3-year-old Ra'Layah Johnson and 5-year-old Ra'Majesty Johnson, were found inside the vehicle.
The highway patrol report said the 3-year-old girl was pronounced dead at a hospital, and her brother was pronounced dead at the scene.
