Retired Miami Beach cop dies in multi-vehicle crash on I-75 in Weston

A retired Miami Beach police officer has been identified as the person who died in a multi-vehicle crash in Weston on Tuesday.

“It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of retired officer and current reserve officer, Kenneth “Kenny” MacLeod,” the Miami Beach Police Department wrote in an X post on Wednesday.

MacLeod was riding a 2022 Indian Challenger motorcycle southbound on Interstate 75, north of Royal Palm Boulevard in Weston, when the rear tire of a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta, driven by a 32-year-old man from Lauderhill, collided with MacLeod’s front tire, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

MacLeod was thrown from the motorcycle, landed on the roadway and was hit by a 2016 Audi A3 Sedan driven by a 21-year-old woman.

MacLeod died at the scene while the other two drivers were not injured.

“Kenny honorably served our department from October 1990 to March 2020 and continued his commitment to service as a reserve officer beginning in April 2020,” the Miami Beach Police Department said in the statement.

The crash is still under investigation.
