The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office tells BocaNewsNow.com that the collision occurred around 6:27 p.m. near the intersection of Grand Oaks Boulevard and Crestwood Boulevard, just north of Okeechobee Boulevard.
Investigators say that 33-year-old Patrick Matthew Fogarty was driving a 1999 Ford Mustang northbound on Crestwood Boulevard. As the vehicle approached a right-hand curve in the roadway, Fogarty failed to negotiate the turn, causing the Mustang to mount the concrete center median. The car then rotated counter-clockwise before the front passenger side fender slammed into a large tree.
