Woman Killed In Broward Turnpike Pile Up

DAVIE (CBS4) - One woman was killed, three other people were injured, in a multi-vehicle crash on the Florida Turnpike in Broward early Sunday morning.

Around 6:20 a.m. a woman driving a Mazda was heading north when she was rear ended about a half mile south of I-595, according to CBS4 news partner The Miami Herald. Drivers coming up on the scene of the crash swerved to avoid hitting it and ended up hitting each other. The woman in the Mazda was killed. Those injured were taken by Davie Fire Rescue to Broward General Medical Center; no word on their conditions.

During their investigation, the Florida Highway Patrol closed all of the northbound lanes to traffic for several hours; drivers were forced to exit at Griffin Road.

The FHP has not released the name of the woman who was killed.
