Three ‘seriously injured’ after SUV slams into pole in Hallandale Beach: police

Three adults are hospitalized with “serious injuries” after an SUV slammed into a concrete utility pole Sunday morning in Hallandale Beach, police confirmed.

Around 7:20 a.m., Hallandale Beach police and Broward Sheriff’s Office Fire Rescue responded to the crash at the intersection of South 26th Avenue and Pembroke Road, according to Hallandale Beach Police Capt. Megan Jones.

A Cadillac Escalade struck the utility pole head-on after rolling over a grass median, causing its airbags to deploy, photos taken at the scene show. A second vehicle, a sedan further east on Pembroke Road, also appeared to be involved in the accident, photos show.

Capt. Jones said the department is withholding the names of the injured, and that the cause of the crash hasn’t been determined.
