Fort Lauderdale Personal Injury Lawyers

Car accidents can occur at any time and in any place, and all it takes is one second of a lapse in judgment or attention for disaster to result.  Unfortunately, there are times when something goes wrong that does not just lead to financial damages and injuries, but to a loss of life.  Tragically, this could be what occurred with a Miramar car accident that took the life of a Sunrise woman Tuesday.

According to police, the latest fatal Florida car accident took place just before 8 p.m. on Tuesday evening in the 2900 block of Southwest 145th Ave.  The woman who was killed has been identified as Sara Brockwell, 83.  The only details of the collision that are available at this time are that there was a collision between Ms. Brockwell and another motorist, and that the other motorist suffered what is described as minor injuries.  Police are continuing to investigate the accident in an attempt to identify a cause.

First, we’d like to extend our condolences to the family and friends of Ms. Brockwell.  While no one can identify what led to the crash at this point, the end result is one that will certainly be met with shock and deep sadness by those who were close to her.  In addition, this incident will only add to the statistics regarding Florida car accidents.  Every year, approximately 250,000 such accidents take place, injuring 200,000 and killing another 3,000 people.
