Investigators are trying to determine if a fatal multi-car accident near Fort Lauderdale was caused by a police pursuit.
The fatal multi-car accident that killed two women and left one injured occurred near Fort Lauderdale at NW 27th Avenue and Sixth Street around 4 p.m. Sunday.
The front side of the Tesla was destroyed, and the windshield was blown out. The Durango sustained considerable side damage. The third vehicle, believed to be the unmarked police vehicle by witnesses, was seen flipped upside down on its roof in the middle of the street.
Two of the women in that car, identified as Lisa Jackson and Geraldine Francis, did not survive.
The driver of the Tesla, identified as 19-year-old Gavin Dorvil, was taken to the hospital. His condition remains unknown.
A third victim is in critical condition.
Cellphone video captures Dorvil on the ground as Broward County Sheriff’s officers were attending him before he was transported to the hospital.
On Tuesday, the Broward Sheriff’s Office confirmed Internal Affairs investigators are trying to determine if any BSO units were pursuing the Tesla before the crash.
BSO added a gun was recovered from the Tesla.
Internal Affairs has not yet confirmed if there was a police pursuit or whether one was authorized.
