911 Calls Released: Call 1 | Call 2 | Call 3

The Polk County Medical Examiner's Office has identified the four people who died along Interstate 4 on Wednesday in a fiery 70-vehicle pileup.

Scott Snyder, 35, Michael Fricke Jr., 34, Jorge Fundora, 51, and Joseph Noel, 57, all had burn injuries, but the exact causes of death have not been determined, the examiner's office said today.

Snyder and Fricke had been identified earlier by relatives.

Fundora and Fricke are from Tampa. Noel is from Lakeland, but worked as a chef for the Solaris Restaurant, in the Orlando World Center Resort.

Snyder was a Disney employee who commuted from Auburndale.

Fricke, a truck driver from Tampa who delivered liquor and wine for Premier Beverage Co., drove on I-4 every day, said his wife, Wendy. Michael Fricke left behind three children.

The crash forced the closure on I-4 for two days while crews worked to repair damage to the road.
