PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – One person died during a car crash on Friday night in Pembroke Pines, police said. A witness described the victim as “a lady.”
Police officers used X to ask drivers to “avoid the area” of Dykes Road and 160 Avenue, between Pines Boulevard and Sheridan Street.
According to Officer Christian Rogers, a spokesman for the Pembroke Pines Police Department, two vehicles collided and speed appeared to be a factor.

A car appeared to have split in half and witnesses said there were others injured.
