Around 2 am on New Year's Day, a three car accident left three people dead and eight injured. The accident happened at Broward Boulevard and the southbound exit ramp of I-95.

"We're trying to piece it together," Fort Lauderdale Police Detective Katherine Collins said of the crash at Broward Boulevard and the southbound Interstate 95 exit ramp. "Speed and alcohol are definitely going to be considered, but that's not something we're going to know in the next few days. There was a lot of damage."

There were two cars turning left from the exit ramp onto Broward Boulevard, a Mercury Sable and a Suzuki Aerio. A Chevrolet Impala ran a red light according to witnesses and ran into the driver's side of the Sable. The Sable then spun around and hit the Aerio. The driver and passenger of the Sable were killed instantly. The driver of the Impala, Kyle McKay age 21, died later at the hospital of his injuries.
