According to detectives with the Broward Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide Unit, Andres Munoz, 90, of Tamarac, was driving a 2015 Nissan Versa west on West McNab Road shortly before 12:27 p.m.
Munoz entered the designated left turn lane with the intention of traveling southbound on Westwood Boulevard and proceeded across the eastbound lanes, investigators said.
At the same time, the male driver of a 2022 Toyota Corolla was traveling eastbound in the far-right lane of West McNab Road, approaching the intersection of Westwood Boulevard.
