MIAMI – One person is dead and another was seriously hurt Monday afternoon after a fiery three-car crash in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood.
The crash happened just before 3:15 p.m. at Northwest Second Avenue and 62nd Street. A vehicle went over the sidewalk, hit several fixed objects and two vehicles, Miami Police Department Capt. Freddie Cruz said.
One of the survivors was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital in “very critical” condition, Cruz said. He said firefighters had to remove him or her from the vehicle.
Two other people in one of the vehicles were unharmed with “very minor injuries,” Cruz said.
There were pedestrians in the area, but none of them were struck.
“This could have been a lot worse,” Cruz said.
Cruz said they’re not sure what led the driver to lose control.
Authorities have not publicly identified any of the victims.
Police are asking witnesses to contact them.
