ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) - An Orlando woman and her daughter, found dead on the Turnpike in a hazmat incident, have been identified.
The Osceola County Sheriff's Office said the bodies of 46-yearold Latifa Lincoln and 3-year-old Maksmilla Lincoln were discovered Thursday afternoon in a SUV near mile marker 224.
A Florida Highway Patrol trooper found the bodies after spotting the vehicle, which had minor damage from hitting a guard rail.
Investigators don't believe the deaths of the mother and daughter were caused by the crash.
The trooper and two deputies were treated at a hospital after being exposed to an unknown substance inside the SUV.
The medical examiner's office is continuing to investigate the cause of their deaths.
