Person dies after crash with Broward Sheriff’s Office deputy, officials say

A person died after a Monday night crash with a Broward Sheriff’s Office deputy, officials said.

Broward County Regional Communications was notified shortly before midnight of a deputy-involved crash near West Prospect Road and Northwest 31st Avenue in Tamarac, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said.

Margate Police Department had issued a “be on the lookout” for a stolen vehicle, which was spotted in Tamarac, the office said.

“At some point, a crash occurred involving a BSO patrol car and a civilian vehicle,” the office said. “A second crash involving the suspect’s vehicle occurred a short period later.”

The involved deputy, the civilian driver, a passenger in the civilian vehicle and the suspect were taken to a local hospital for treatment, the office said. The suspect was taken into custody, and the civilian driver was later pronounced dead.

Broward Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide and Violent Crimes Unit detectives were notified to investigate, and the BSO Internal Affairs Unit has opened an administrative investigation into the incident.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office did not identify the driver who died or the suspect.
