We’re told it’s a multi-car accident. One reader saw two cars with front-end damage. Another reader thinks more cars were involved, and car parts are all over the road.

We see some traffic impact on Google Maps, but the volume at that intersection is not high enough to generate reliable information. We’d suggest avoiding the area for an hour or so.
Update: Another reader sent us two more pictures.

Car Accident By Water's Edge Elementary

Two readers reported to us that there’s an accident on Palmetto Park Road near the Water’s Edge Elementary School and the western entrance to Boca Winds.

Fire Rescue is on scene. Due to the location at the western end of Palmetto, there shouldn’t be any significant traffic impact. But for those who live in Boca Winds, it may be wise to use the other entrance this evening.

Car accidents will never be a nice thing. That’s why it’s important to make sure that you are wearing a seat belt and if you have a young child you should make sure that they are in the correct car seat. Although you may not want to think about it, you should start to think about what type of car insurance you have. Your insurance package needs to include certain things such as recovery after a crash, the covering of legal fees, and a courtesy car, so when you look at car insurance quotes you also need to make sure you look at the terms and conditions. Now we have no way of knowing what type of insurance the people involved in this accident on Palmetto Park Road near Water’s Edge Elementary School had, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t start to think about it as well. But, more importantly, let us hope that whoever is involved in this accident is okay. All we can do is send out our best wishes.

Boca Raton Police reported early this morning that the northbound side of I-95 had been closed due to a fatal accident. From the report it was south of Palmetto Park Road so it would have affected traffic coming north from the Hillsboro interchange, Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach.
Google Maps traffic feature shows the road appears to be cleared as of this writing at 5:30 am.
