Broward Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide Unit detectives are investigating a fatal crash that killed a man on Sunday evening in Pompano Beach.
At approximately 5:42 p.m., Broward County Regional Communications received a crash call involving two vehicles at the intersection of North Andrews Avenue and West Copans Road in Pompano Beach. BSO deputies and Pompano Beach Fire Rescue responded to the scene.
The preliminary, on-scene investigation revealed that 24-year-old Jezeniah Gonzalez was driving a 2012 Ford Focus and traveling northbound on North Andrews Avenue in the right-thru lane. At the same time, the driver of a 2018 Infinity Q50 was traveling westbound on West Copans Road turning left onto North Andrews Avenue. As the two vehicles entered the four-way intersection, they were involved in a T-bone-style collision.
The damage to the Infinity was severe enough that Pompano Beach Fire Rescue had to extract the driver and the passenger by removing the vehicle’s roof. All occupants of both vehicles were transported to Broward Health North with life-threatening injuries. The passenger of the Infiniti was pronounced deceased at the hospital.
The investigation is ongoing.
