Nearly six years after a crash in Plantation left one person dead and another seriously injured, a driver who was allegedly going 100 mph just before impact has been arrested, authorities said.
Darryl Efford, of Miami, was arrested Tuesday on a vehicular homicide charge, Broward jail records showed.
The arrest came a day before his 41st birthday, records showed.
According to an arrest report, the crash happened the night of July 7, 2020, when Efford, who was driving a Subaru WRX, struck a Mercedes that was making a left turn near the 4300 block of West Sunrise Boulevard.
One person was killed and the other was seriously injured. Their names were redacted from the report.
Data from the Subaru showed it was going 85.7 mph five seconds before the crash and accelerated to a maximum of 100 mph one second before the crash, the report said.
The data also showed “that Efford was at 100 percent acceleration from five seconds prior to the crash to just under two seconds prior to the crash,” the report said.
A consulting group report found that the Subaru was going 87.97 at impact on a 45 mph road and found that if it was traveling at the posted speed limit the crash wouldn’t have happened, the report said.
Plantation Police investigated and a probable cause affidavit was filed this past December, before Efford was arrested on Tuesday, records showed.
