Officials confirmed that a professional race car instructor was killed over the weekend while riding in a Lamborghini at Walt Disney World's Exotic Driving Experience, where he worked.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 36-year-old Gary Terry was sitting in the passenger seat of the luxury sports car while it was being driven by a customer who lost control of the vehicle on Sunday.

Sgt. Kim Montes said in an incident report that 24-year-old Tavon Watson failed to maneuver the high-powered vehicle through the course and hit a guardrail just after 3:30 p.m., reports WESH 2. As a result, Terry died in the crash, while Watson was taken to Celebration Hospital to be treated for minor injuries. He has since been released.

A spokeswoman for Petty Holdings LLC, which operates the attraction, revealed that Terry was a senior operations manager at the Exotic Driving Experience at Walt Disney World.

"Yesterday we lost a long-time, valued team member of the Exotic Driving Experience family," said Lauren Swoboda in statement, reports the Los Angeles Times. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Gary's family and friends. He will be sorely missed."

Following the incident, Swoboda said driving classes at the Exotic Driving Experience would be temporary suspended for the rest of the week.

A spokeswoman also released a statement, saying that Disney offers its "deepest sympathy to those involved" in the crash.

The attraction, which is located south of the Magic Kingdom parking lots, gives race car fans the chance to drive luxurious cars such as Lamborghinis, Porsches and Ferraris. For $200 to $400, customers can drive several laps with the assistance of a professional driving instructor in the passenger seat.

According to officials, Watson's wife gave him the opportunity to drive the car as a birthday gift.

Officials announced back in February that the Exotic Driving Experience will close on Aug. 9 to make way for transportation improvements.
