MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A car was completely destroyed after it collided with a garbage truck early Saturday morning. 

The crash happened in the Pinewood neighborhood of northwest Miami-Dade County around 3:30 a.m.

One person was seriously injured in the collision.

"That's dangerous," crash witness Sonja Jackson said. "I'm glad she's alive. Hopefully she survives."

It happened on Northwest 95th Street, close to Northwest 12th Avenue.
