Woman dragged to death after several attempts to stop hit and run driver

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A woman was dragged for several miles to her death under a minivan after trying to stop the driver from fleeing a collision, officials said Monday.

Sandra Hall, 44, of Fort Lauderdale, was in a Cadillac struck by the minivan Sunday night, Broward County sheriff’s officials said.

The minivan fled the crash scene, with the Cadillac in pursuit, authorities said. Hall stood in front of the minivan when both vehicles were stopped in traffic.

The minivan’s driver sped off after hitting Hall and tossing her onto the hood, authorities said. As the vehicle continued driving, Hall fell off the hood and became lodged underneath the minivan, officials said.

Hall was dragged for several miles before she fell from the undercarriage, authorities said. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sheriff’s spokesman Elliot Cohen said officials want the minivan driver and any witnesses to come forward.

“They need to solve it before I solve it,” said Michael Williams, Sandra Hall’s husband.

Nicole Hall, Hall’s daughter-in-law, said she was a mother to the whole family. Nicole Hall’s mother, Theresa Campbell, said Sandra Hall loved to cook and would feed homeless people in the neighborhood.

“She will be missed. Even to the homeless,” Campbell said. “It always happens to the good ones.”

Please call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS if you have any information on this incident. You may be eligible for an award. The van is said to have a missing front bumper and a partial Florida tag of C72.
