BROWARD SHERIFF’S OFFICE INVESTIGATING PEDESTRIAN’S ‘DELAYED FATALITY’

By John McDonald

Detectives at the Broward Sheriff’s Office have launched an investigation into the “delayed” death of an Oakland Park woman.

In a news release, BSO announced its traffic homicide unit is conducting an investigation into the delayed fatality of Annie St. Gerard. The 50-year-old woman was attempting to cross North Andrews Ave. in the middle of the block on the morning of Jan. 10, when she was struck by a vehicle, police said.

St. Gerard was transported to Broward Health Medical Center. Two weeks later, on Jan. 28, she died from injuries afflicted by the crash.

Miranda Grossman, a BSO spokesperson, declined to comment if Broward Health Medical Center’s care and treatment of St. Gerard is the focus of the investigation.

The crash took place in the 100 block of W. Oakland Park Blvd. The driver, a 38-year-old Fort Lauderdale woman, was traveling east on W. Oakland Blvd. when her 2009 Nissan

Altima hit St. Gerard, police said. The driver stayed on the scene and detectives have ruled out excessive speed as a contributing factor in the crash.

According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there have been six fatalities in Broward County resulting from crashes this year.
