Haywood Highsmith sued by man who lost leg in car crash

Highsmith was driving west on Southwest 136th Street in a 2021 Audi A5 at an estimated 45 mph, 5 miles per hour over the posted speed limit, according to the crash report. A man was in the road, helping a woman with her disabled car as Highsmith approached, the report says. Highsmith wasn’t able to stop his car in time and crashed into the disabled car and the man, who was directly behind it, according to the report. The force sent the disabled car about 50 to 60 yards west, where it came to a stop. A security guard who was patrolling the area corroborated the account the woman gave to officers, the report said. -via South Florida Sun-Sentinel / February 8, 2024
