Oakland Park car wreck

OAKLAND PARK - A grandmother who was involved in a car accident which injured eight people this past Wednesday passed away at Broward General Medical Center.

A newborn baby and a 7-year-old boy were riding in her car and are now listed as being in critical condition, authorities said.

The Driver Linda Fulton, age 42, was driving a 2000 Saturn westbound on Northeast 56th Street when a pickup truck going north on North Andrews Avenue struck the driver's side of her car at 4:20 p.m. while visibility was still good, as reported by the Broward County Sheriff's Office said.

The force of the side impact derailed the Saturn, with five passengers inside, causing it to slamm into a sign, a pole and some hedges. The impact threw a 1-month-old boy, Travis Allen, from the car. Firefighters had to pull out Fulton and Tyler Supall, 7, who were trapped inside.

Latasha Fulton, 25, Clement Supall, 5, and Shaniyaa Keels, 10, were also in the Saturn but managed to get out. Latasha Fulton was taken to Broward General and remains in serious condition. Clement Supall, 5, and Shaniyaa Keels, 10 have been released.

The driver of the Toyota pickup truck, Oscar Montalvan, 38, and his wife Claudia, 38, are both in the hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening. If it i determined that this accident was the truck drivers fault, he better have some decent insurance, or he is going to have a Judgment following him around for the next 20 years.
