Broward County, Florida – A man has tragically died following a crash in unincorporated Central Broward on June 28, 2025, and the Broward Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide Unit (THI) is currently investigating the incident.
The crash occurred around 7:20 p.m. when a 2009 Subaru Impreza, driven by Kervens Vincent, collided with a pedestrian who was in a motorized wheelchair.
