From Thursday to Sunday, Four Accidents Injured Guests at Disney World

A four-day stretch at Walt Disney World Resort produced an unusual cluster of traffic incidents, with law enforcement responding to accidents with injuries on Thursday and again on Sunday — including two crashes that were logged just one minute apart.

The first incident occurred on Thursday afternoon at Disney Springs. Scanner monitoring account @WDWActiveCrime logged the call at 3:48 p.m. on June 25 on X (formerly known as Twitter):

🚓 Traffic Alert – 6/25/26 3:48 PM

The Google Maps pin attached to the alert places the response in the general center of Disney Springs rather than a precise location. The number of vehicles involved and the severity of the injuries remain unknown.

Less than an hour later, a second crash was reported at the intersection of Osceola Parkway and World Drive — a busy junction near the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Fantasia Gardens and Fairways Miniature Golf. @WDWActiveCrime shared the call log once again:

Details about the vehicles and injuries involved in this incident also remain undisclosed.

One minute after the Osceola Parkway crash was logged, a third accident with injuries was reported just down the road near Disney's Hollywood Studios. @WDWActiveCrime captured the call at 4:47 p.m.:

🚓 Traffic Alert – 6/25/26 4:47 PM
🚓: Vehicle Crash With Injuries at 📍: Disney's Hollywood Studios

The attached Google Maps screenshot suggests the crash occurred on Studio Drive, the road leading into the Disney's Hollywood Studios parking lot, though neither Walt Disney World Resort nor local law enforcement has confirmed that detail. Whether the two near-simultaneous crashes near Hollywood Studios were related hasn't been established.

After a quiet few days on the traffic alert front, a fourth crash with injuries was reported on Sunday, June 28. At 7:04 p.m., @WDWActiveCrime tracked the response at the intersection of Western Way and Hartzog Road — the area near Flamingo Crossings Village, where Disney College Program participants live:

🚓 Traffic Alert – 6/28/26 7:04 PM

Whether the people involved in this incident were Disney cast members, college program participants, or guests hasn't been confirmed. As with the three Thursday crashes, law enforcement is unlikely to release additional information unless criminal charges are filed or a fatality occurs.

Walt Disney World Resort issued no statements about any of the four incidents. All four theme parks and Disney Springs continue to operate normally.
