Three teens killed in Pompano Beach crash have been identified
Three teenagers killed Monday night in a two-vehicle crash on North Federal Highway in Pompano Beach have been identified by the Broward Sheriff’s Office.
Eighteen-year-old Richard Manuel Alcocer, 16-year-old Miguel Montez and 15-year-old Ruben Baltazar were all pronounced dead after being taken to Broward Health North.
The crash happened just before 7 p.m. in the 1600 block of North Federal Highway.
Deputies say a 2024 Acura Integra, driven by Fabiola Groves, was leaving a shopping plaza near Northeast 18th Street and turning right to head south on North Federal Highway. At the same time, a 2014 white BMW M5 was already traveling south on the highway.
The BMW hit the raised concrete median, and Alcocer, the driver, lost control, deputies say.
The BMW then struck the Acura, spun across the roadway and jumped the curb on the west side. The car crashed into a bus stop before hitting a concrete light pole and a tree, according to investigators.
The Acura came to a stop in the left turn lane. Damage to the car showed it was hit along the front driver’s side. The driver and passengers in the Acura were not injured.
Montez and Baltazar were passengers in the BMW, according to authorities.
Fire rescue crews worked to remove the teens from the BMW after the crash.
Deputies say excessive speed by the driver of the BMW is a possible contributing factor in the crash.
