Three people died Tuesday morning after their car crashed into a canal in Robeson County. A state trooper says the driver lost control coming around a curve on Barker Ten Mile Road.

The car flipped and landed upside down in the canal where much of it was submerged.

The victims have been identified as 39-year old Maria Torres, 28-year old Caludia Corona, who was driving the car, and her 3-year old daughter, Vanessa.

All three were residents of Lumberton.
