A fatal crash early Saturday morning in Pompano Beach has forced the closure of all southbound lanes on Interstate 95.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the collision occurred before 2 a.m. Video from the scene showed a Mercedes Sprinter van flipped onto its side in the right lane, while a nearby black Tesla appeared severely damaged with its airbags deployed. Both vehicles have since been removed from the roadway.
Troopers remain on the scene, carefully investigating the crash site. The identity of the person killed has not yet been released.
Just a few exits south of the initial crash, a second accident occurred around 4 a.m. involving another vehicle and what appeared to be a Road Ranger truck. It is unclear whether there were any injuries in the second incident.
As of now, I-95 southbound past Atlantic Boulevard remains closed as authorities continue their investigation.
This is a developing story and updates will follow as more information becomes available.
