Tamarac, FL – Auto Crash on Florida’s Turnpike Sends Two to Hospital

Miami, FL - Injury Crash Reported Sunday on Florida's Turnpike

Tamarac, FL (October 19, 2020) – Lauderhill and Tamarac fire rescue crews along with paramedics and police responded to a call concerning a crash that occurred on Florida’s Turnpike in Tamarac this morning. 

At approximately 10:20 a.m. on the morning of October 19, two vehicles collided in the northbound lanes of Florida’s Turnpike about half a mile south of the Commercial Boulevard exit. 

Paramedics were present at the crash scene in order to render aid to those hurt in the accident. Two drivers involved in the crash were injured. Their injuries were deemed to be non-life-threatening in nature.

One of the vehicles involved caught fire and was badly damaged by the flames. That vehicle was identified as a McLaren. 

No other information has been disclosed at this time. An investigation into the circumstances of the collision will be carried out by local police. 

We would like to offer our thoughts to those hurt in the wreck in hopes of a full and swift recovery. 

Florida Car Crashes

Florida is one of the most dangerous states in the nation for motorists. According to statistics, there were more than 400,000 car accidents reported statewide in 2019. Of this number, approximately 250,000 motorists suffered injuries, many of them serious in nature. A Florida car accident can be a life-altering event for both victims and their families as the injured person struggles to regain the life that they enjoyed prior to the accident.

If you have been affected by a crash in South Florida, you should speak with an experienced Miami car accident lawyer right away. You may have the right to obtain compensation for your injuries, including payment for your pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, and possibly more. Your attorney can advise you on the value of your case and can negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf to receive a favorable settlement. Many car accident victims attempt to handle their own claims, which results in receiving an outcome that is inadequate to fully compensate them for their injuries.
