A pedestrian died following a crash in Lauderdale Lakes on Tuesday evening, and Broward Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide Unit detectives are investigating the incident. 

According to detectives, just before 8 p.m. on Oct. 7, Broward County Regional Communications received a report of a traffic crash involving a vehicle and a pedestrian in the 3600 block of West Oakland Park Boulevard. BSO deputies and Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue responded. The preliminary investigation revealed that the pedestrian, Agness Flynn, was crossing West Oakland Park Boulevard from south to north when she entered the path of a 2004 Honda CRV travelling east. The driver of the Honda, Derrick Myers, attempted to avoid the collision by steering to the left but was unable to avoid the crash.
