New details revealed in crash at Pompano Beach bus stop that killed pedestrian, injured driver

The Broward Sheriff's Office is releasing new information about a violent crash that killed a man at a Pompano Beach bus stop.

Investigators said that shortly before 1 p.m. Tuesday, the driver of a 2024 BMW M240i, was headed south on South Federal Highway when she was involved in a rear-end crash with a 2017 Honda Accord in the 500 block.

Deputies said that the driver maneuvered the BMW around the Honda and continued to head south.

Investigators said that when the driver reached the 900 block of South Federal Highway, the vehicle drifted into the swale along the west side of the road and then collided with a covered Broward County bus bench where a man was located.

"I heard what sounded like an empty garbage truck get in a real bad accident," said nearby business owner Steven Arnst. 

It's unknown if the man was sitting or standing when he was hit by the BMW.

After the crash, deputies said the driver then hit two light poles, a tree and several unoccupied vehicles on the lot of a nearby auto dealership.

The pedestrian, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.

First responders then brought the driver to Broward Health North with injuries that aren't believed to be life threatening.

The sheriff's office said that debris from the crash also hit a 2010 Lincoln Town Car that was headed south on South Federal Highway and a total of nine unoccupied vehicles on the dealership lot.

The investigation into the deadly crash continues.
