Broward County, FL (May 16, 2019) - A crash involving two vehicles on Interstate 95 left an 18-year-old driver dead on Wednesday, May 15th.
The Florida Highway Patrol was on the scene of the accident at Commercial Boulevard around 9:00 p.m. Troopers say that Kobe Lambert, of Coral Springs, was driving a Honda Accord that was one of the two cars involved in the accident. Lambert's Accord collided with a Pontiac Solstice driven by 51-year-old Audrey Chapman. Lambert died as a result of injuries sustained in the accident. His passengers, two 23-year-old men, suffered serious injuries, while Chapman was not hurt.
Traffic was blocked for approximately three miles while the crash scene remained active and police investigated. The accident is still under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.
A reportable crash happens in Florida every 92 seconds. Many serious and catastrophic crashes across our state take place on highways. Higher speed limits, more congestion, and distracted drivers all contribute to higher rates of accidents and death on highways. Many people feel a false sense of security inside their vehicle and do not appreciate that a car crash when traveling at high speeds will almost certainly result in serious damage.
