WEST PALM BEACH, FL — October 04, 2026 A 72-year-old Delray Beach resident was critically injured early Sunday when a wrong-way driver triggered a three-vehicle collision on Interstate 95 in West Palm Beach.
Robert Harold Bradio was behind the wheel of a Cadillac Eldorado when the chain-reaction crash unfolded near the 45th Street and Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard area just before 5:30 a.m. According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Edwin Castro was traveling south in the northbound lanes of I-95 in a GMC Sierra pickup. A deputy observed the truck weaving and attempted to follow from the opposite side of the median but lost sight of it near Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard.
Moments later, the GMC Sierra collided head-on with a Dodge Caravan. The Dodge then veered and struck the rear of Bradio’s Cadillac. Bradio sustained a lacerated aorta and was transported to a hospital with incapacitating injuries. The 68-year-old West Palm Beach driver of the Dodge Caravan was pronounced dead at the scene.
Castro faces multiple felony charges, including DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide, DUI causing serious bodily injury, reckless driving causing serious bodily injury, and additional DUI and reckless-driving counts tied to property damage and injuries. He was also cited for traveling the wrong direction on the interstate.
