An auto accident in Wellington, Florida, took the lives of two star equestrian showjumpers, Andres Rodriguez and Sophie Walker Monday.
Rodriguez, 31, and his passenger, Walker, 30, were declared dead at the scene after Rodriguez lost control of his Porsche Roadster and struck a concrete pillar.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said it appeared Rodriguez lost control of his Porsche Roadster, and the auto slammed into a concrete pillar inside the Palm Beach Polo and Country Club in Wellington, a gated community.
