Plantation, FL : Driver injured in a single-car crash that blocked a busy Plantation intersection early Thursday on September 25, 2014
A single-car crash that blocked a busy Plantation intersection early Thursday was caused by texting and driving and sent the driver to a hospital, officials said.
A woman whose Honda Civic was traveling north along North University Drive and Northwest 5th Street crashed about 2:30 a.m. when her car struck a tree in the median, said Battalion Chief Joel Gordon of the Plantation Fire Department.
"The driver was having an argument with her boyfriend via text," said Plantation Police Detective Phil Toman. Agency records were not complete Thursday and it was unknown if the driver was cited for any traffic violations.
Rescue personnel had to extricate the motorist, who was conscious, from the wrecked car. She had serious injuries that were not necessarily life threatening when she was taken to Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, Gordon said.
