john branco killed after being hit by 2 vehicles

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office announced that John Branco has died after being hit by multiple vehicles during the evening of January 17.

The 46-year-old man was involved in a fatal accident as a pedestrian on 10th Avenue North in Lake Worth.

Branco was heading south on foot from a gas station and crossed the street as a pickup truck was approaching. The driver of the pickup truck tried to avoid Branco, but the truck’s passenger side mirror knocked him to the ground.

Shortly after, another car ran over and dragged Branco. 

First responders declared Branco dead at the scene of the incident.

It’s unclear if any extenuating circumstances leading up to this event, as the investigation remains ongoing.
