BREVARD COUNTY • COCOA BEACH, FLORIDA – Due to a vehicle crash on New Year’s Eve, Pamela Morrison, 70, of Barney, Georgia, died of her injuries, according to the Cocoa Beach Police Department.
“On the 31st of December 2023 at 9:08 p.m., Officers with the Cocoa Beach Police Department responded to a report of a Vehicle Crash with Injuries on West Cocoa Beach Causeway (State Road 520), just west of Bicentennial Park in Cocoa Beach,” said Sergeant J Hughes of the Cocoa Beach Police Department.
“Upon arrival, Officers located two vehicles that were involved, along with an extended debris field present on the roadway. Each vehicle had a driver and occupant that had sustained injuries.”
Morrison was passenger in one of the vehicles.
Sergeant Hughes said the preliminary results of the investigation show that this was a rear end collision and speed may have been a factor. All of the involved parties were transported to local area hospitals for treatment.
Due to size of the debris field, West Cocoa Beach Causeway was shut down with the assistance of the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office while a crash investigation was conducted. Once the initial investigation was completed the roadway was opened.
This is an active investigation and anyone that may have any additional information are asked to contact the Cocoa Beach Police Department at 321-868-3251.
