A fatal four-vehicle crash occurred on the Palmetto Expressway in Miami-Dade early Friday morning, resulting in the death of one driver. The incident happened at around 5 a.m. in the southbound lanes of State Road 826 near Interstate 75.
The Florida Highway Patrol reported that a gray Honda, a silver Nissan, a silver Volkswagen, and a white Ford were all traveling south on State Road 826 within the center outside lane when traffic came to an abrupt stop. Unfortunately, the driver of the Honda failed to brake in time for traffic ahead and collided with the Nissan.
The initial collision caused secondary crashes involving all four vehicles. Tragically, officials confirmed that an adult Hispanic man driving the Nissan died at the scene due to his injuries; however, his identity has not been released yet.
As a result of this accident, all southbound lanes of State Road 826 were closed down while troopers investigated what had happened. Traffic was diverted onto Northwest 154th Street as cars drove bumper-to-bumper past it during heavy morning rush hour.
