OAKLAND PARK, FL — 40-year-old Gerald Laurore was killed in an Oakland Park car accident.
The incident occurred at around 9;44 a.m. On Wednesday, January 17th, when Broward Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide investigators received a report about a fatal crash involving a single vehicle at the intersection of West Commercial Boulevard and North Andrews Avenue.
According to the initial investigation conducted at the scene, it was determined that Gerald Laurore was driving a blue 2001 Chevrolet Suburban SUV heading northbound on North Andrews Avenue towards Commercial Boulevard. As he approached the intersection, he attempted to make a left turn onto West Commercial Boulevard.
