DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. — Authorities in Broward County are investigating a fatal crash that involved three vehicles.
It happened Tuesday afternoon around 1:45 p.m. in the area of the 4400 block of Northeast Third Avenue in Deerfield Beach.
According to Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue, one woman was killed in the crash and two other people were rushed to a nearby hospital as trauma alert patients. The Broward Sheriff’s Office said a third person was also injured in the crash.
Authorities closed Third Avenue between Northeast 43rd and 48th streets due to their traffic investigation.
Views from Sky 10 showed a Nissan Rogue that had smashed through the fence of someone’s home, a white Land Rover that was completely flipped over on the sidewalk and a white Nissan van that was smashed in the middle of the road.
The owner of that home said there were children playing in his pool at the time of the crash.
“I had four granddaughters here, they were swimming in the pool,” he told Local 10’s Byron Tollefson.
That man, who did not want his identity revealed, said he was just thinking of the woman who lost her life when asked about his fence.
“The fence is like more than $5,000, but that’s not the problem, the problem is the life,” he said.
One resident who said he’s live in the area for more than a decade, was shocked by what he saw.
“That’s strange man, that’s crazy man,” he said. “People need to stop speeding.”
