A pedestrian is dead following a crash in Pompano Beach, and Broward Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide Unit detectives are investigating the circumstances of the incident.

According to detectives, shortly before 1 p.m. on Tuesday, July 21, the driver of a 2024 BMW M240i, Jo Anne Llera, was traveling southbound on South Federal Highway when she was involved in a rear-end collision with a 2017 Honda Accord in the 500 block. Llera maneuvered the BMW around the Honda and continued southbound.

The investigation has revealed that when the driver of the BMW reached the 900 block of South Federal Highway, the vehicle drifted into the swale along the west side of the roadway. The BMW then collided with a covered Broward County bus bench where a pedestrian was located. Detectives said it’s unknown if the pedestrian was sitting on the bench or standing at the time he was struck. Following that impact, the driver of the BMW struck two light poles, a tree and several unoccupied vehicles on the lot of a nearby auto dealership.

BSO deputies pronounced the pedestrian deceased on scene. Paramedics with Pompano Beach Fire Rescue transported the driver of the BMW to Broward Health North with injuries not expected to be life threatening.

Debris from the crash struck a 2010 Lincoln Town Car that was traveling southbound on South Federal Highway and a total of nine unoccupied vehicles on the dealership lot sustained damage from the crash.

The investigation into the crash is active and ongoing.
