A 71-year-old man was killed Thursday afternoon in a two-vehicle wreck in Wellington after his vehicle became engulfed in flames, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
The crash occurred near the intersection of Greenview Shores Boulevard and Wellington Trace at about 1:10 p.m.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said an 18-year-old man from Wellington was driving a 2012 BMW northbound on Greenview Shores Boulevard at a high rate of speed, approaching the entrance to Courtyard Shops at Wellington.
At the same time, a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, driven by Aristides Guerra, 71, of Wellington, was heading southbound on Greenview Shores Boulevard in the left lane in order to turn into Courtyard Shops. The sheriff's office report said as the Jeep began to make a left turn, the BMW violently struck the passenger side of Guerra's vehicle, causing it to roll over.
