Andre DaSilva Brito, 41, and Vivian Brito, 39 were in a Mazda and turning east on Atlantic from Hagen Ranch Road when a Honda Pilot driven by 66-year-old Raymond Kelly of Royal Palm Beach collided with them, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

The impact pushed them across the intersection and into the eastbound lanes of Atlantic where Kelly then struck an Infiniti driven by 53-year-old Barbara Cipriano, according to a report from the sheriff's office.

Palm Beach County Fire Rescue responded to the scene around 8 a.m. The Britos, of suburban Lake Worth, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Kelly, of Royal Palm Beach, was hospitalized with serious injuries.

Cipriano, who lives in suburban Delray Beach, was not injured.

The sheriff's office said all eastbound and westbound lanes were closed in the area for multiple hours.  By midday, traffic was getting back to normal. 

The sheriff's office asks anyone who witnessed the crash to contact investigator Seth Perrin at 561.681.4535.
