Davie, FL (November 1, 2018) - A tragic pedestrian crash has claimed two lives in Davie. The crash occurred just before 8:00 pm on Wednesday, October 31st.
At that time, police were called to Southwest 68th Avenue and Griffin Road. The call was in reference to a white Cadillac driving near Davie Road. The woman driving the Cadillac had reportedly struck both a young girl and a man in the area. When police arrived, the driver was present at the scene and cooperated with the investigation. Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have not identified anyone involved in the incident at this time. The girl is believed to be around 5 years old. There is no information on exactly how the accident occurred or whether the Cadillac driver will face any charges for her role in the collision.
