Multi-Vehicle Crash In Tamarac Kills One Woman, Hit-And-Run Driver Identified

TAMARAC, FL – Boca Post (BocaPost.com) — The Broward Sheriff’s Office tells Boca Post that a hit-and-run driver who fled the scene of a multi-vehicle accident in Tamarac and was later identified and located.

Broward Sheriff’s Office describes the accident:

A woman was killed in a multi-vehicle crash, and detectives with the Broward Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide Unit are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.

At approximately 9:37 a.m., Friday, Aug. 12, BSO Tamarac District deputies responded to a multi-vehicle crash near the intersection of West Commercial Boulevard and Prospect Road in Tamarac. According to investigators, the preliminary investigation revealed that the driver of a 2020 Kia Optima was traveling northbound on Prospect Road, approaching West Commercial Boulevard. At the same time, the driver of a Nissan Versa was traveling westbound on West Commercial Boulevard, also approaching Prospect Road. The driver of the Kia failed to stop at the red traffic light and entered the intersection where it struck the Nissan in a T-bone-type collision.
