Sky 10 was above the scene just before 8:15 a.m. as a portion of the Chevrolet was still wrapped around a tree.
The other portion of that car was in shambles and a maroon-colored SUV also had heavy front-end damage.
Police said the driver of the Chevrolet was pronounced dead at the scene.
Those inside of the Honda and GMC were transported to an area hospital with minor injuries, Grant said.
Plantation police confirmed that northbound and southbound lanes of North Hiatus Road were shut down for hours between West Broward Boulevard and Cleary Boulevard as authorities investigated what led up to the collision.
