A woman has died after she jumped on the hood of a man’s SUV early Tuesday morning after the two got into a physical altercation at a hotel in Fort Lauderdale, police confirmed.
According to Fort Lauderdale police, at about 2 a.m., officers responded to the 400 block of Southeast 32nd Street after receiving a report about a car accident involving a pedestrian.
Police said officers arrived at the scene and discovered that the driver and pedestrian knew each other and had gotten into a physical altercation at a local hotel.
According to police, the man attempted to leave the hotel in his vehicle, but the woman jumped on the hood of the SUV and fell off as the vehicle was in motion.
Police said the woman was critically injured and the man stopped his car and called 911.
