Pompano Beach, FL (September 5, 2025) – A traffic accident resulting in injuries occurred Friday morning on I-95 just south of the Atlantic Boulevard exit in Pompano Beach. According to dispatch audio from Pompano Beach Fire Rescue and the Broward Sheriff’s Office, a vehicle left the roadway and came to rest on the grass shoulder, prompting an emergency medical response.
The crash took place shortly before 7:45 a.m. along the southbound lanes near Exit 36. While the exact number of individuals injured has not been confirmed, emergency medical services were quickly dispatched to the scene to provide aid. The vehicle’s departure from the roadway suggests a loss of control, though the contributing factors remain under investigation.
I-95 is one of the busiest transportation arteries in South Florida, and areas near exits like Atlantic Blvd often experience high-speed merging, sudden braking, and frequent lane changes—all of which can contribute to serious collisions. Friday’s incident caused delays as responders worked to secure the scene and assist the injured parties.
Authorities are reviewing the crash to determine if factors such as excessive speed, weather conditions, or driver fatigue may have contributed. No further details about the condition of the injured individuals have been released.
Our thoughts are with those affected by the crash, and we wish a swift recovery to the injured.
Highway Shoulder Accidents in Florida
Crashes involving vehicles leaving the roadway—as seen in Friday’s I-95 incident near Atlantic Blvd—are among the more dangerous types of highway accidents. When a car veers onto the grass or shoulder, it often indicates either a high-speed maneuver, evasive action to avoid another vehicle, or sudden driver impairment such as fatigue or distraction.
On major interstates like I-95, where vehicles frequently travel at 65+ miles per hour, the margin for error is slim. The shoulder areas are not designed for prolonged travel, and vehicles that enter them risk rolling over, colliding with signage, or losing traction in wet or uneven grass.
Victims in these types of crashes often suffer injuries to the head, spine, or extremities—particularly if the vehicle overturns or strikes an object after leaving the road. Even if seatbelts are worn, the abrupt deceleration and change in surface can create significant internal strain.
In addition to medical concerns, drivers often face secondary challenges: vehicle recovery, insurance claims, and emotional trauma from a high-speed incident. Quick action—such as obtaining medical evaluation, securing an official crash report, and contacting insurance—is crucial in the immediate aftermath.
