LAUDERHILL, FLL – A pedestrian is dead following a crash in Lauderhill. According to authorities, at approximately 9 p.m. on Friday, April 16, the Broward Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide Unit was contacted to assist the Lauderhill Police Department in the investigation of a crash involving a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado and a pedestrian in the 3400 block of West Broward Boulevard in Lauderhill. At the time, the Lauderhill Police Department’s Traffic Unit was working an unrelated investigation and requested Broward Sheriff’s Office’s assistance.
