A fatal crash was under investigation Saturday afternoon at the intersection of SW 49th Avenue Road and SW 82nd Place Road in Marion County.

Authorities said the collision involved multiple vehicles near the intersection on August 8. According to reported details, two vehicles were traveling northbound on SW 49th Avenue Road at high speeds when a third vehicle was trying to enter the roadway from SW 82nd Place Road.

Investigators said one of the northbound vehicles struck the entering vehicle on its left side. People inside the struck vehicle were taken to a hospital after the crash. Officials also described the incident as fatal, although the publicly available report did not identify the person who died or clarify which vehicle that person was in.

Troopers said the second speeding vehicle continued northbound and did not stop at the intersection. Authorities indicated charges were pending against the driver of the first vehicle involved. No additional information about the occupants, possible citations, or the full sequence of events had been released in the initial public report.
