DEERFIELD BEACH, FL – A fatal collision in Deerfield Beach earlier this month remains under investigation, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said.
BSO detectives responded to the scene June 15 at the intersection of Northeast 48th Street and North Dixie Highway after the incident was reported at about 8:47 p.m.
The initial investigation indicated that a male juvenile was driving a Ford Escape SUV south on North Dixie Highway in the designated left turn lane and made a left turn into the path of a Triumph Bonneville motorcycle going north on North Dixie Highway.
