BOCA RATON – The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office is investigating two recent fatal accidents in West Boca Raton, authorities said.
The latest occurred about 8:35 p.m. July 14 and involved a motorcycle and a car. PBSO said the car and cycle collided at Glades and Golf Course roads. The motorcyclist was ejected from the vehicle and left with serious injuries. In this case it is important that his family members contact a motorcycle accident attorney to get him the claims he deserves for this accident.
The driver of the car involved, Francisco E. Curril, 82, of 8617A Boca Glades Blvd., and his passenger, Maria M. Curril, 68, of the same address, were taken to West Boca Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries, PBSO said.
According to PBSO, Willard was traveling westbound on Glades Road, approaching the intersection of Golf Course Road. The driver of the car was traveling eastbound on Glades Road, attempting to turn left and travel northbound onto Golf Course Road. As the motorcycle entered the intersection, the car continued to turn and travel north directly within the path of the cycle, which struck the right front side of the car.
Also, the collision of a car and pickup truck in West Boca Raton just before 9 p.m. July 7 caused fatal injuries to a passenger in the car, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said.
The PBSO report says Arthur Glickman, 87, of 10474 Stonebridge Blvd., Boca Raton, was taken to Delray Medical Center where he later succumbed to his injuries. He was riding in a 2011 Mercedes operated by Helene Glickman 78, of the same address, who was taken to the same hospital for treatment.
The driver of the truck was identified as Ronnie Silva, 33, of 11142 Delta Circle, Boca Raton. He was treated for injuries at West Boca Medical Center, said the PBSO report.
According to investigators, the Glickman car was heading west on Glades Road and was attempting to turn left into the parking lot of Shadowood Square. The pickup was traveling east, and struck the passenger side of the Mercedes, said the report.
