Three teenagers were killed Monday evening in a crash involving a white sedan along U.S. 1 in Pompano Beach, authorities said.
The crash happened around 7 p.m. on North Federal Highway, about a mile south of Copans Road. Investigators said the sedan lost control, collided with another vehicle, then struck a bus stop and a nearby light pole.
They said the impact caused severe damage to the car, and the roadway was shut down to traffic while investigators examined the scene and collected evidence.
First responders rushed the male teenagers to the hospital, but they did not survive their injuries. Deputies said they were 15, 16 and 18 years old.
Broward County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Carey Codd said detectives are working to determine what led up to the crash.“
They are taking witness statements, gathering evidence, looking for video that will help them try and understand what led up to this tragedy,” Codd said. “Any loss of life in a situation like this is absolutely tragic, especially to have three young people die in a crash like this.” No other details about the crash were immediately released.
