Accident at Glades & Cain

Update: More reader photos at bottom.

Thanks to a couple of our favorite readers, we have photos of an accident that just happened at Glades and Cain Blvd (west of 441). These photos are from about 10 minutes ago.

We are seeing some delays, particularly for westbound traffic on Glades.

There’s a substantial amount of debris in the roadway, and it appears the airbags deployed on at least one of the vehicles.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue is on scene.
Another reader sent us some pictures:

Truck Rollover at Clint Moore and 441 (1 pm today)

Thanks to several readers for alerting us to an accident earlier today (roughly 1 pm) at Clint Moore and 441. A truck overturned just east of the intersection on 441.
And thanks especially to one reader who sent us the two pictures, above and below.

It is our usual practice not to name people who send us tips or photos unless they request credit, because most people who do prefer to remain anonymous.

Accident Earlier at Glades and Powerline: Photos

Thanks to reader Liz Ruotolo for the tip and photos from an accident this morning at Glades and Powerline.

The accident occurred before 9:30 am. We have not seen any further information from police or fire rescue personnel.
At least one person was taken by stretcher to an ambulance.

Please note that assistance was provided by the Boca Raton Fire Rescue personnel. Most of our stories involve Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, but this incident occurred at the city line. Northwest of the intersection is Boca West which is outside the city limits.

Details Emerge on Palmetto Pines Accident

See update at bottom.
More details have emerged about last night’s accident in Palmetto Pines. Multiple readers have told us that the driver in the incident was Xavier Borgos, a 19-year-old and recent graduate of West Boca High. At this time we cannot verify that it was him.
There is a Xavier Borgos who is a dancer and MC with a local DJ company.

There is also a 19-year-old Xavier Raymond Borgos who had a 2013 traffic case marked as a crash and careless driving charge. The charges in that case were dismissed after a pre-trial diversion program.
One reader reports to us that the driver, whoever it was, appeared intoxicated but was not arrested and instead “released him to his mother.” Another reader reports the vehicle lost control on a curve at 75 mph, in a neighborhood with a much lower speed limit than that.
If true, deputies releasing an intoxicated driver after a crash without an arrest is something that may concern our readers. We have sent inquiries both to the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office seeking an incident report or other information, and to Mr. Borgos to see if he has any comment. PBSO told us that accident reports take a few days to get into their system. Mr. Borgos has not responded as of yet. We will update the story if we find out more.
As for Mr. Borgos, if it was him, he may be a better dancer than a driver. He may even dance around the law well.

However, we’re not as enamored of his rap skills.

Update: Borgos shared an emergency room picture on his Instagram account revealing a broken nose and an apology.

Accident Yesterday – Yamato and Jog

Readers told us about this accident at Yamato and Jog, and they posted pictures too.

Here’s what one witness reported:

Woman driving the Flex was westbound on yamato. Driver of a saturn sky pulled out into traffic into the side of her and spun her a bit and she aimed right for the ditch. I was a few cars behind it and the person that pulled the woman from the car. Everyone was alright. Just shaken up

We also had reports of accidents last night at Yamato and 441, and at 18th and Lyons. This photo, from the latter, is a motorcycle on fire.
