One of them died, according to Florida Highway Patrol.
The two were in a blue Toyota traveling southbound on the Florida Turnpike. The driver lost control at the exit ramp to Southwest Eighth Street.
Good Samaritans and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue divers jumped into the murky water.

Fire Rescue personnel took the man and the woman to the HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, formerly the Kendall Regional Medical Center.
