Authorities Investigate Fatal Rollover Crash on I-75 in Broward
Authorities are investigating a fatal rollover crash that occurred on Tuesday around noon on northbound Interstate 75 west of U.S. 27 in Broward, Florida. The driver of a box truck was killed after being rear-ended by a yellow Chevy Corvette, which pushed the truck into the center median where it flipped and became fully engulfed in flames.
According to officials from the Florida Highway Patrol, witnesses attempted to help the trapped driver out of the burning vehicle but were unable to do so due to the intensity of the fire.
The identity of the deceased has not been released at this time. The 18-year-old driver of the Corvette did not sustain any injuries during this incident.
As a result of this accident, all northbound lanes leading up to Alligator Alley had been closed off with traffic being diverted onto U.S. 27 causing significant delays for motorists traveling through Weston.
At present, authorities are still investigating what led up to this tragic event and have yet provided no further information regarding their findings or potential charges against those involved in causing such devastation on our roads.
