A young woman driving the wrong way in Coral Springs early Saturday morning died after colliding with a taxi.

According to Sergeant Carla Kmiotek, the crash happened at 5:40 a.m. on the 2700 block of Coral Ridge Drive. A preliminary investigation shows that a 2005 Nissan Altima driven by Leslie Amanda Eastland Campos, 24, of Tamarac, traveled northbound in the southbound lane. Kmiotek said that the Altima struck a taxi with two occupants: driver Mathiu Aurelien, 54, and passenger Keven Brice, 30, both of Margate.

Aurelien and Brice were both taken to Broward Health North, where Aurelien was treated and released. Brice remains hospitalized with serious injuries.

Kmiotek said that Eastland Campos somehow got on the wrong side of the road, but it is too soon to know whether or not she was under the influence of alcohol.

She does urge anyone with information to contact Traffic Homicide Investigator Derek Fernandes at 954-346-1754.
