DANIA BEACH, Fla. – One person is dead after a crash that closed a stretch of Griffin Road early Thursday morning.
The crash occurred about 4 a.m. in the 3300 block of Griffin Road.
Broward Sheriff's Office deputies said a white Lexus, driven by Larry Lallo, 32, struck the rear of a black Chevrolet Impala driven by Samuel Ferro, 63.
Deputies said Lallo lost control of his car, struck a utility police and crashed into a fence outside The Field Irish Pub & Eatery.
Lallo was pronounced dead at Memorial Regional Hospital.
A 15-year-old girl who was inside Lallo's car and the driver of the other car were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Westbound lanes of Griffin Road were closed between Southwest 31st and 33rd avenues, but they have since been reopened.
Authorities believe speed may have played a factor in the crash.
