Pompano Beach, FL (September 22, 2025) – A two-vehicle crash resulting in injuries was reported Sunday morning on the Sawgrass Expressway near University Dr in Pompano Beach. The collision occurred just after the on-ramp and prompted an emergency response from Coral Springs and Parkland Public Safety units, including Engine 43 and Rescue 97.
First responders arrived at the scene near mile marker 17 after receiving reports from passersby who observed the crash. At least one person was confirmed to be injured, though the extent of the injuries has not yet been released. The scene required medical evaluation and coordination among multiple agencies to manage traffic and ensure the safety of those involved.
Traffic flow in the area was impacted as emergency personnel addressed the collision and worked to clear the wreckage. The Sawgrass Expressway serves as a high-speed route connecting Pompano Beach with other parts of Broward County, and collisions near on-ramps—like the one near University Dr—often create hazardous conditions during peak travel hours.
An investigation into the cause of the crash is underway. We extend our well wishes to those injured and hope for a full recovery.
Expressway Merges and Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Florida
High-speed expressways such as the Sawgrass are designed to ease traffic flow across South Florida, but they also come with heightened risks—especially at merge points and on-ramps. Today’s two-vehicle crash near University Dr highlights the dangers of sudden lane changes, speeding, and driver misjudgment in high-pressure traffic zones.
Crashes near on-ramps often involve vehicles attempting to merge or shift lanes without adequate clearance. These high-speed impacts can result in severe injuries, even when involving just two vehicles. The risk increases when visibility is limited or when drivers are unfamiliar with local traffic patterns.
For victims, the consequences can extend beyond the physical trauma. Missed work, ongoing medical treatment, transportation issues, and dealing with insurance claims are all common challenges after such incidents. Early access to support services, including medical care, legal guidance, and local recovery resources, can make a major difference in outcomes.
Authorities in Broward County continue to monitor accident-prone areas along the Sawgrass Expressway and implement safety enhancements, including improved signage, ramp design adjustments, and increased enforcement during peak travel times. However, driver awareness remains the most effective tool in preventing these high-speed crashes.
If you’ve been involved in a collision on a Florida expressway, taking prompt action to document the incident, secure treatment, and seek guidance can protect your rights and speed your recovery.
