An 81-year-old Tamarac man was struck and killed by a Ford Mustang GT while crossing the street Friday, authorities said.
Francisco Rodriguez, of 8852 W. McNab Road, was walking across Pine Island Road near Northwest 67th Court in Tamarac around 7:25 p.m.—not using a designated crosswalk—when he “walked into the path” of the 2006 Mustang driven by Andrew Singer, 59, also of Tamarac, according to a Broward Sheriff’s Office press release.
Paramedics pronounced Rodriguez dead at the scene.
BSO Traffic Homicide Unit detectives are investigating.
Neither excessive speed nor impairment are considered factors in the crash, according to BSO.
