Victim identified in fiery Miami crash that killed Lamborghini driver

MIAMI – One person is dead and another was taken the hospital after a car struck a pole in Miami’s Little River neighborhood overnight Friday, bursting into flames.

Local 10 News obtained surveillance video showing sparks flying from a power pole as the high-end sports car slammed into it.

The male driver has been identified as 23-year-old Mohammad Khan.

Miami police said they responded to the area of 151 NE 82nd St. at around 1:15 a.m. to investigate a crash. Shortly after arriving, fire rescue crews pronounced Khan dead and took a female passenger to Ryder Trauma Center.

A witness described the vehicle as a Lamborghini.

“They had to have been doing anywhere between 100 and 110 mph,” she said.

The area has seen a number of fatal crashes over the past few months, including a car that crashed into a house in late May, killing three people.

“Sadly, it’s a normal occurrence around here,” a witness said. “It’s just not a safe street.”

Investigators are looking into if speed was a factor and the female passenger’s condition is still unknown at this time.

A GoFundMe page has been set up in Khan’s name to “continue his legacy.”
