A 59-year-old man was killed Friday when the car he was driving struck a tree in Coral Springs, police said.
Officers responded to the 3900 block of Coral Ridge Drive at approximately 4:21 p.m. on July 24, according to the Coral Springs Police Department.
A preliminary investigation found that Vitali Lichtenstein, of Pembroke Pines, was driving a 2024 Mercedes-Benz sedan south in the right lane when, for reasons that remain under investigation, the vehicle either changed lanes or veered into the left lane, police said.
