81-year-old Coral Springs woman killed in Pompano Beach crash, deputies say
A Coral Springs woman is dead after being hospitalized from a late March two-vehicle crash in Pompano Beach, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies responed to the collision near Copans Road and Northwest Third Avenue on Monday, March 30, shortly before 1 p.m., reads an April 9 BSO statement.
Per detectives, Coral Springs’ Antoinette Biamonte, 81, was riding in the front passenger seat of a Lincoln sedan driven by a 56-year-old Pompano Beach woman, headed eastbound on Copans Road while approaching Northwest Third Avenue.
That’s when a 35-year-old Deerfield Beach driver headed westbound on Copans Road in her Jeep Wrangler SUV made a left on Northwest Third Avenue “directly into the path of the Lincoln,” investigators said.
The Lincoln was hit on its front driver’s side by the front passenger side of the Jeep, deputies said, resulting in “an offset/angular head-on type of collision.”
The crash caused the Jeep to spin and roll southeast toward a sidewalk, added investigators, while the Lincoln veered south to face the northbound lanes of Northwest Third Avenue.
First responders with BSO and Pompano Beach Fire Rescue responed to the scene.
Per BSO, the Jeep driver stayed behind with deputies while the two women in the Lincoln were rushed to Broward Health North, where 81-year-old Biamonte died of her injuries later that day.
An investigation by BSO’s Traffic Homicide Unit is still underway.
