Broward Sheriff’s Office traffic homicide detectives are investigating the fatal crash between a car and a tractor-trailer which occurred May 5 in Deerfield.
Just before 1:30 a.m., Joseph S. Dipersio was traveling southbound in a 2001 Honda Civic in the right lane on Powerline Road approaching the intersection of Southwest 10th Street.
Trava Monroe was driving a 2015 Freightliner tractor, traveling westbound in the center lane of Southwest 10th Street approaching the intersection of Powerline Road.
Both vehicles proceeded into the intersection. The front passenger side of Monroe’s trailer struck the driver side door of Dipersio’s Honda.
