Deadly crash claims four family members

Four members of a Polk County family were killed in a devastating Sunday night crash as they traveled to their home in Frostproof. "I don't know if wearing a seatbelt would have mattered in this crash or not," said Polk County Sheriff's spokeswoman Carrie Hortsman. The four dead men are brothers and cousins, and their family was too broken up to speak to us Monday.
