FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A child is dead following a crash on U.S. 27 Tuesday afternoon that left six other children and two adults injured.
Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Yanko Reyes said one of the children, possibly a teenager, was pronounced dead when he arrived at Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale.
Earlier information from the Broward Sheriff’s Office and Broward Sherriff Fire Rescue said the crash involved a minivan and a tractor trailer. FHP has since determined it was a black Nissan sedan rather than a minivan.
