Palm Beach Post: A 79-year-old Lake Worth Beach man who may have had a medical incident as he drove was killed Saturday afternoon after he lost control of his car and crashed into a parked car in a city driveway, police said Sunday.
Romero Cortez was heading northbound on North Dixie Highway in Lake Worth Beach just after 2 p.m. Saturday when he made a wide eastbound turn onto Columbia Drive, crashing his 2019 Chevrolet Impala into a 2014 Toyota Corolla occupied by a 29-year-old Westlake man that was parked on the north side of the street, a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office report said.
The Westlake man sustained minor injuries, deputies said.
Cortez headed back into the road, then hit the curb and climbed onto the sidewalk, deputies said, striking a 2014 Ford Edge owned by a 73-year-old Lake Worth Beach man that had been parked in the driveway at 327 Columbia Drive.
Rescue workers took Cortez to JFK Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Cortez "may have suffered a medical episode" while driving, the report said.
