The Orange County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call at 4:27 p.m. on September 23, reporting a “Vehicle Crash With Injuries” at EPCOT. Law enforcement monitoring account @WDWActiveCrime shared the scanner report on X (formerly known as Twitter), posting:

The Google Maps screenshot attached to the post identifies the location as EPCOT’s main entrance, near Spaceship Earth in the World Celebration neighborhood. That said, this address is frequently used as a generalized marker for logging law enforcement responses at EPCOT, following the standard practice of recording calls under broad theme park or hotel addresses rather than the exact site where an incident occurred.

As of now, neither Walt Disney World Resort nor the Orange County Sheriff’s Office has released a statement addressing the crash. It’s currently unknown whether those involved were Disney cast members, theme park guests, or individuals unrelated to the resort simply traveling through the area.
Disney is unlikely to comment publicly on the incident, though the Orange County Sheriff’s Office could release additional details if criminal charges are eventually filed against someone involved. Specifics regarding the number of people injured or the severity of those injuries typically remain private unless the crash results in a fatality.
What Guests Should Know

EPCOT appears to be operating normally in the aftermath of Wednesday’s crash. Still, guests traveling to or from the park may encounter traffic disruptions or detours near the scene following the afternoon collision. Anyone driving through the area is encouraged to follow instructions from authorities and proceed cautiously.
