MIAMI – Two children found unresponsive in a van on the northbound I-95 ramp to the Turnpike Extension at the Golden Glades interchange have died.
According to Miami-Dade police , around 2 a.m. they received a call about a child who was unresponsive in the vehicle. Shortly afterward, they received another call that a second child was unresponsive.
“Just after our units arrived, they located a female on the scene who was the driver of the vehicle. She was driving the vehicle where these juveniles were located. And that adult female went over the railing to the on-ramp onto the railroad tracks which is a considerable distance” said Miami-Dade Detective Andre Martin.
“The juveniles that were located in the backseat of the vehicle were transported to a nearby hospital where despite medical efforts they were pronounced deceased,” he added.
The children were fraternal twins, a boy and a girl, between 3 and 4 years old. Martin did not reveal the cause of death.
