Detectives with the Broward Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide Unit are investigating a crash that killed a pedestrian in Lauderdale Lakes on Monday. 

Just after 4 p.m., Broward County Regional Communications received a report of a traffic crash involving a vehicle and a pedestrian in the 4100 block of North State Road 7 in Lauderdale Lakes. The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2015 Honda Accord was traveling northbound in the center thru lane approaching Northwest 41st Street. An adult female, Silmene Louizaire, was walking eastbound just north of the designated crosswalk. She entered the northbound travel lanes and walked into the path of the Honda. The front passenger side of the vehicle struck Louizaire. 

Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue responded and pronounced Louizaire deceased. The driver of the Honda, Joshua Nordelus, remained on scene and cooperated with investigators. 

According to investigators, neither impairment nor excessive speed on the part of the driver are believed to be contributing factors to crash.
