Broward County, FL (July 6, 2020) - Two teenagers were killed and three others injured in a single-car crash that took place in Broward County on Saturday, July 4th. The accident happened in Tamarac just before 1:00 a.m.

Police and rescue workers responded to the southbound lanes of State Road 7 in response to the crash. According to reports, a 17-year-old female was driving on SR 7 when her car veered off the roadway and struck a concrete pole. The car was split into two pieces. The driver was killed in the crash, along with a 14-year-old passenger. Three other passengers, ranging in age from 14 to 16, were taken to a hospital where they were listed in serious condition.
