Boynton man, 68, killed in two-car crash at city intersection

BOYNTON BEACH — A 68-year-old man was killed Friday afternoon in a two-car collision at a city intersection, police said Saturday.

Jorge M. Castro of Boynton Beach was traveling west on Woolbright Road in his 2017 Nissan Rogue at 4:35 p.m. Friday when he turned left onto Wingfoot Drive and into the path of an oncoming car, Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputies said.

That car, a 2018 Dodge Challenger driven by Alexander Banica, 21, of Boynton Beach, had been traveling east on Woolbright and had reached the Wingfoot Drive intersection when Castro made his turn directly into Banica’s path, deputies said.
