A driver was killed after his car crashed into a canal off the Florida’s Turnpike in Miami-Dade Friday morning.
The crash happened in the northbound lanes of the Turnpike near Mile Marker 8 when the driver of a gray Hyundai collided with a tractor-trailer, Florida Highway Patrol officials said.
The crash sent the Hyundai off the roadway and into a grassy area before it overturned and landed in the canal, officials said.
Aerial images showed the vehicle upside-down and completely submerged in the canal.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials said crews including divers responded and searched the water and found the driver, who was taken to a hospital.
Footage showed divers in the water before a person on a gurney being taken from the scene in an air rescue helicopter.
FHP officials later confirmed that the driver, an adult male, died from his injuries. His identity hasn’t been released.
No other information was immediately available.
