A Broward Sheriff's Office deputy, a pregnant woman, and a child were among 11 individuals who were injured in a multi-vehicle crash in unincorporated Central Broward this past Saturday. The collision, which unfolded near the 2700 block of Sunrise Boulevard around 10:45 a.m., involved a BSO unit and three other vehicles, as reported by NBC Miami.

Witnesses on the scene suggested that the deputy was responding to a call when the accident happened, with one, Patricia Grant, recounting the moment to WSVN, "The cars was at the red light. He must have lost control of his car, and ran into, like, three other cars." The intersection of Northwest 27th Avenue and Sunrise Boulevard was shut until the preliminary investigation were completed by authorities.

All the injured parties, which unexpectedly included 10 people according to WSVN, were dispatched to Broward Health Medical Center, where they received care for injuries deemed not life-threatening. The area was cordoned off by deputies as the investigation proceeded and was later reopened for traffic.

According to rescue units from agencies including Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue, Ft. Lauderdale Fire Rescue, Lauderhill Fire Rescue, and Plantation Fire Rescue, they responded immediately following the incident. Responsibility for the crash has not been clearly assigned as of Saturday night, with officials keeping tight-lipped on the matter. The ongoing investigations seek to piece together the series of events that led to the collision, and find conclusive evidence of who may have been at fault.
