Winfried Hopp Passed Away After Pompano Beach Crash

POMPANO BEACH, FL (Boca Post) — The Broward Sheriff’s Office tells Boca Post that they are investigating an accident involving a fatality after an 81-year-old man crashed into a parked car.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office tells Boca Post that at approximately 1:40 PM on Friday, December 16th, 2022, deputies responded to the area near the 400 block of South Riverside Drive in Pompano Beach in reference to a vehicle accident.

Responding BSO district deputies and Pompano Beach Fire Rescue located 81-year-old Winfried Hopp who had been involved in the accident.
