DAVIE, FL – A tragic vehicle collision on Griffin Road has left one person dead, according to local authorities. The accident, which involved a distinctive punch buggy and a truck, occurred around 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, bringing traffic to a standstill as emergency services responded to the scene.
When first responders arrived, they found the buggy engulfed in flames on the grass beside the road. The fire was extinguished, but unfortunately, one person was pronounced dead at the site. The identity of the deceased has not yet been released, pending notification of family members.
The crash has led to the closure of the westbound lanes of Griffin Road, particularly affecting the area around Southwest 148th Avenue. Davie Police are currently managing the roadblocks while conducting an extensive investigation to determine the cause of the collision.
A tow truck arrived shortly after the initial response to remove the damaged vehicles from the scene, indicating the process of clearing the area is underway. However, authorities have not provided an estimate for when the road will reopen.
Witnesses reported seeing the buggy in flames, but details about how the fire started remain unclear. Investigators are piecing together evidence and interviewing witnesses to uncover the sequence of events that led to the fiery crash.
The police have urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward, as they seek to gather as much data as possible to aid in the investigation.
