It’s Election Day, South Florida – and NBC 6 has your top six stories to know for Tuesday, November 6.
Weather wise, it will be a dry and humid day across the area with high temps reaching the mid-80s
No. 1 – A portion of I-75 in West Broward was shut down after a wrong way crash along that claimed the life of one driver and sent three other people to the hospital.
FHP officials say the crash occurred in the northbound lanes near Weston just east of US-27 shortly before midnight. It’s not clear if alcohol played a role in the crash.
No. 2 – Cesar Sayoc will go before a federal judge in New York City this morning. The South Florida man already faces charges here linked to last month's politically charged attempted mail bombings.

No. 4 – This morning the remains of Major Brent Taylor are now on American soil and will soon return to his Utah hometown. The service member and mayor was killed in an insider attack in Afghanistan this past weekend. He leaves behind a wife and seven children.
No. 5 – If you run into a problem at the polls today, we want to know about it. The NBC 6 investigators are teaming up with Telemundo 51 and Propublica to look into your issue. We will have multiple ways to reach us: by phone at 954-622-6651 as well as online and even through social media – just search "voting problem”.
No. 6 – Food chains are offering Election Day deals in hopes to increase voter turnout. Shake Shack is offering free fries and Corner Bakery a free coffee if you show your "I Voted" sticker. Hungry Howie’s will give you a free medium one-topping pizza with purchase of a large pizza with the code "save 18” while Jersey Mike's is offering $2 off a regular sub.
