Although the crash scene has been cleared, damage remained on Wednesday where investigators said the car struck the bus bench before hitting several vehicles and coming to a stop. <\/p>\n

Investigators also confirmed that the driver had rear-ended another vehicle moments before the deadly crash.<\/p>\n

Authorities released 911 calls made moments after the collision.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m on federal just north of McNab (Road) and there was a really bad car accident,\u201d one caller stated. <\/p>\n

Another caller described the aftermath of the crash. <\/p>\n

\u201cJust saw a really bad accident happen. A car flipped over. It is now the right side up, but it flipped over,\u201d another caller stated. <\/p>\n

According to investigators, the white BMW crashed into two concrete light poles, a tree, several unoccupied vehicles and ripped a covered bus bench from its foundation.<\/p>\n

One 911 caller expressed uncertainty about the victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if the guy is still in the car or he was ejected or someone he hit at the (expletive) bus stop,\u201d the caller stated. <\/p>\n

Deputies with the Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office on Wednesday identified the driver as 47-year-old Jo Ann Llera. They said she was behind the wheel at the time of the crash and is expected to survive.<\/p>\n

Neighbors said they were shocked to learn Llera was involved in the deadly wreck.<\/p>\n

Investigators said the crash sequence began just before 1 p.m. in the 500 block of South Federal Highway, where Llera allegedly rear-ended a Honda Accord. Authorities said she then drove around the vehicle and continued for about four blocks before crashing.<\/p>\n

Witnesses described the sound of the impact as resembling an explosion.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was like dynamite going off we knew something was wrong right away,\u201d one witness said. \u201cIt\u2019s horrific I never seen so much damage in one car you feel for the family.\u201d <\/p>\n

As Llera recovers from her injuries in the hospital, witnesses are left wondering what caused the chain of crashes that ended with the death of a man who was waiting at the bus stop.<\/p>\n

The victim\u2019s identity has not been released by the Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Authorities have not announced whether Llera will face any charges.<\/p>\n
