The 24-year-old driver and his 20-year-old passenger, whose names deputies did not release, died at the scene.
The men had been traveling on Trapnell Road, near State Road 39, in a 1998 Corvette about 11:45 p.m. when the driver lost control, deputies said. The Corvette left the road, hit a mailbox then spun around before hitting the utility pole, deputies said.
