One woman was killed and another person was taken to their hospital following a violent rollover crash that shut down all southbound lanes of the Palmetto Expressway in Hialeah Gardens for hours, authorities said
A traffic camera captured southbound traffic at a standstill near the West Okeechobee Road, just after 6:10 p.m. on Wednesday.
The crash took place south of the Northwest 103rd Street exit and has also led to westbound lane closures of the Gratigny Parkway.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a white Audi sedan crashed into the concrete traffic barrier, then crashed into a Ford pickup truck.
Investigators said the force from the impact caused the Audi to overturn, and the driver and a passenger were ejected from the vehicle.
Authorities said the woman, who was a front passenger, died at the scene, and the male driver was transported to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
Shortly after 10 p.m., the southbound lanes reopened to traffic.
