Fort Lauderdale Personal Injury Lawyers

Auto accidents occur with alarming frequency, and when one of the vehicles involved is large enough to carry multiple passengers, the danger inherent in the situation only rises given the higher number of potential victims.  Tragically, a terrible accident took place in Fort Lauderdale last night that left one person dead and five others injured.  One of the vehicles involved was a van.

According to the Sun-Sentinel:

“One person was killed and five others were injured after a crash on Powerline Road late Thursday night.

The accident happened about 10:30 p.m. near the intersection of Northwest 19th Street and Powerline Road, officials said.

A car and a van collided, and one of the vehicles ended up in the median, authorities said.

The injured were taken to Broward General Medical Center. Their names and conditions were not released.”

Clearly, there are few details available at this time.  Authorities usually approach investigations of accidents that involve several injuries and/or fatalities with a high degree of caution and a meticulous approach to the gathering and analysis of any available evidence.  No indication was given regarding potential fault for the accident at this point.  All that’s known is that one family has suffered a tragic and untimely loss.
