BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. -- A multi-vehicle crash Saturday morning on I-95 near the Gateway Boulevard overpass left one person dead.
According to Florida Highway Patrol, while driving southbound on I-95 near Gateway Boulevard at 5:33 a.m., the driver of a 2006 BMW X5 failed to maintain control of their vehicle and veered off the roadway to the right.
The BMW struck the concrete barrier wall and overturned onto its right side, landing in the outside paved travel lane facing in an easterly direction.
The driver of a 1997 Toyota Tacoma failed to observe the overturned BMW and struck the undercarriage of the BMW with the front of their Tacoma.
Following that crash, the driver of the Toyota exited his vehicle (becoming a non-motorist) and was standing in the outside center paved travel lane.
