A tragic turn of events as a Boynton Beach senior dies following a crash in Boca Raton. Malcolm Arnold Cohen, 93, was a passenger in a vehicle that was involved in a collision a week earlier at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Legends Way. BocaNewsNow.com notes that the incident occurred when the Hyundai Sonata Cohen was riding in made a left turn onto Legends Way and was struck by a Volkswagen Beetle, which continued through the intersection. Both drivers involved had a green light.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office conveyed that the Hyundai, driven by Marcie Lynn Deorsas of Corkwood Avenue in Boynton Beach, was journeying eastbound when it attempted to make the left turn. The Volkswagen, operated by Viola Portillo of Black Olive Lane in Boca Raton, seemingly failed to yield and proceeded to inadvertently strike the rear passenger side door of the Hyundai. Cohen was quickly taken to Delray Medical Center around 8:50 p.m. on February 17, according to the report from Infoceres.biz.id.
Tragically, Cohen's injuries proved fatal, and he passed away yesterday morning, details BocaNewsNow.com. The authorities have yet to file charges in connection with the accident. Delray Medical Center staff provided immediate care, but were unable to save the nonagenarian. The case remains under investigation by local law enforcement officials.
Cohen, of the 11700 block of Caracas Boulevard in Boynton Beach, leaves behind a scenario where questions regarding right-of-way at intersections and the responsibilities of drivers with simultaneous green lights must be pondered possibly to avert such occurrences in the future. No further details on the condition of either driver have been released at this time, although BocaNewsNow.com maintains that there were no immediate charges following the incident.
