Tragic Collision in Deerfield Beach Involving Semi Truck Claims a Life
In a somber update from Deerfield Beach, the community mourns the loss of a fellow resident following a catastrophic multi-vehicle collision involving a large semi truck. The unfortunate incident, which unfolded on Sunday morning at the intersection of Southwest 10th Street and Powerline Road, has left the local community in shock.
As reported by the Broward County Police, the crash involved an 18-wheeler, a pickup truck, and another vehicle, leading to a complex investigation at the scene. Traffic was halted in all directions around the accident site, reflecting the severity of the incident. The collision occurred near a Deerfield Storage facility, adding a stark backdrop to the tragic event.
Eyewitnesses shared harrowing accounts of the crash, including reports of a potential fuel leak from the semi truck. The truck, belonging to Wawa, was found jackknifed in a distressing state.
