BSO’s Homicide Unit detectives and Crime Scene Unit investigators continue to investigate the circumstances that led to the crash.
Less than a year ago in October a pedestrian was killed on the tracks on Oakland Park Boulevard and I95. Less than a year before the death of that pedestrian, a driver trying to beat the train was hit by the Brightline in downtown Oakland Park, ultimately killing him.
Residents are urged to take precautions at train crossings by following these safety tips.
