A woman was killed in a crash Sunday morning in Oakland Park when two juveniles fleeing the police in a stolen Mercedes struck a car in which she was a passenger, authorities said.
According to the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, the incident began when thieves broke into a house on Mercedes Drive in Fort Lauderdale’s Harbor Beach neighborhood while the occupants were sleeping. They stole car keys and made off with three vehicles. The neighborhood is a wealthy enclave of waterfront homes near the beach.
The police found one of the vehicles, a white Mercedes, on West Sunrise Boulevard and pursued it, according to the department.
