Police said the collision happened in North Miami Beach, though the exact sequence of events has not been detailed publicly, as reported by WPLG Local 10. The North Miami Beach Police Department said multiple people were transported to area hospitals, and that several were in critical condition. In Miami-Dade County, Traffic Homicide Units are dispatched specifically to crashes resulting in fatal or critical injuries, where they photograph and measure scenes, collect evidence, and interview witnesses, according to Hoodline’s prior reporting on a similar fatal crash in neighboring North Miami.
Under Florida Statute ยง 316.066, official crash reports containing personal identifying information are exempt from public disclosure for 60 days following a collision, restricting access during that window primarily to involved parties and insurers, per the Online Sunshine legislative database. Investigators are also required under Florida law to submit a formal long-form crash report within 10 days of concluding their investigation whenever a crash results in bodily injury or vehicle disablement, according to the same statute and guidance from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
