According to The Palm Beach Post, a 19-year-old Palm Beach State College student died and four others were sent to the hospital when a car and a sport utility vehicle collided on Northlake Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
On Thursday, September 29, 2011, at around 11:39 p.m., Bryanna N. Sanville, of Palm Beach Gardens, was in the front passenger seat of a Kia Forte headed west on Northlake when the driver of that car made a U-turn near the corner of Hiatt Drive/Alister Boulevard. But the Kia’s driver, Sabrina J. Gavagni Fiorentino, a 19-year-old from Palm Beach Gardens, pulled into the path of an eastbound Ford Explorer being driven by 42-year-old Dora J. Valencia.
The Explorer struck the Kia in the passenger door and killed Sanville, who was not wearing a seatbelt, police said.
Fiorentino was taken to the St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach.
Valencia, of Palm Beach Gardens, was also taken to the hospital, along with her two passengers: a boy whose name and age were not given; and 19-year-old girl, Viviana Silva.
In the report, police traffic accident investigators say that alcohol played a role in the fatal crash and charges are pending.
Sanville was a freshman at PBSC. She graduated Palm Beach Gardens High School in 2010 where she was a member of the track team.
