Lauderhill, FL (December 28, 2020) - One person was killed in a two-vehicle accident that took place on Monday, December 28th in Lauderhill. The crash happened on State Road 7 near the intersection with Northwest 16th Street. 

An investigation began when police responded to the scene. According to reports, a vehicle was traveling southbound on SR 7 when the driver tried to make a left turn onto Northwest 16th. As the driver was turning, the vehicle collided with a second vehicle that was traveling northbound on SR 7. One of the drivers died in the crash.
