DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. – Broward Sheriff's Office deputies and firefighters responded to a rollover crash that left two men dead Thursday in Deerfield Beach.

Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue said there was a search for another passenger, but they didn't find anyone else.

Fire Rescue personnel rushed the two men to North Broward Medical Center. Broward Sheriff's Battalion Chief Michael Kane said the men in their 30s were in serious condition, unconscious and unresponsive. They were pronounced dead at the hospital.
