Police were at the scene of a fatal crash in Broward County Friday morning.
According to Florida Highway Patrol, the driver of a tractor trailer was accelarating to merge into traffic on the Sawgrass Expressway via the on ramp at Commercial Boulevard. That's when the driver of a pickup truck crashed into the right rear corner of that tractor trailer.
The pickup truck's driver, 45-year-old Paul Fiedler of Fort Lauderdale, was killed, FHP confirms.
The driver of the tractor trailer, 50-year-old Jose Ruiz of Miami, was not injured.
FHP says the cause of the crash is still being determined. It is not known if any charges will be brought against Ruiz.
The Sawgrass Expressway southbound on ramp was closed at Commercial Boulevard for much of the morning as crews responded to the crash. The on ramp has since been reopened.
