The Broward Sheriff’s Office tells Boca Post that a 77-year-old woman was struck and killed in Dania Beach, and detectives with the Broward Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide Unit are investigating the circumstances surrounding the fatal crash.

The collision occurred shortly after 2 a.m., Thursday, Aug 18, near the 400 block of South Federal Highway in Dania Beach.
