It’s unclear how many people were injured in Tuesday morning’s crash or the severity of those injuries. Although law enforcement occasionally releases police reports related to criminal activity at Walt Disney World Resort, private medical information is rarely published. It’s unlikely that any additional information will be made available unless one of the victims does not survive the accident.
