IT IS SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 15TH. I’M NIKITA RAMOS WITH A LOOK AT YOUR NEWS TO GO. A MIAMI-DADE SHERIFF’S DEPUTY IS ACCUSED OF MEETING WHO HE THOUGHT WAS A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL IN DELRAY BEACH. INVESTIGATORS SAY HE SENT SEXUAL MESSAGES AND TOUCHED THE VICTIM AT A MOVIE THEATER. COURT DOCUMENTS SHOW HE FACETIMED HER SEVERAL TIMES, AND HE’S NOW RELIEVED OF DUTIES WITHOUT PAY. A CRASH ON THE TURNPIKE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY HAS CLAIMED ONE LIFE AND HURT SIX OTHERS. THESE ARE IMAGES FROM THE SCENE SATURDAY MORNING ON THE NORTHBOUND SIDE NEAR THE LAKE WORTH ROAD EXIT. INVESTIGATORS SAY AN SUV AND A TRUCK WERE INVOLVED AND ONE PERSON DIED AT THE SCENE, WHILE SIX OTHERS WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. THEIR CONDITION IS UNCLEAR STILL, BUT WE DO KNOW ALL LANES HAVE REOPENED. AND IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO GET OUT THIS PRESIDENT’S DAY WEEKEND, FLORIDA STATE PARKS OFFERING FREE ENTRY.
