DEERFIELD BEACH, FL (Boca Post) — The Broward Sheriff’s Office tells Boca Post that 78-year-old Wladyslawa Poplawska was killed while crossing the street in the Century Village community in Deerfield Beach on Saturday morning.

Broward Sheriff’s Office traffic homicide detectives are investigating a crash that killed a 78-year-old woman in Deerfield Beach.

According to detectives, at approximately 8:01 a.m., on Saturday, Aug. 27, a vehicle versus pedestrian crash occurred within Century Village at the intersection of Newport Drive and West Drive in Deerfield Beach. At the time, Broward Sheriff’s Office Fire Rescue transported the pedestrian to a local hospital listed in stable condition.
