CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. — A man has been charged in connection to a deadly hit-and-run crash that occurred last year in Coral Springs.
Police took Russell Baldwin, 48, into custody on Wednesday, Jan. 15.
The crash occurred on Oct. 10, 2025, at the intersection of West Sample Road and Woodside Drive.
Police said a vehicle being driven by Baldwin, a 2015 silver Chevrolet Impala, collided with the victim’s vehicle, a 2024 black Toyota Corolla, which was heavily damaged on the passenger side.
According to investigators, the Corolla was traveling east on Sample Road and while making a left to go north on Woodside Drive, it was struck on the passenger side by the Impala, which was going west on Sample Road and being driven by Baldwin.
