Medics took a dump truck driver to the hospital after a crash on Florida’s Turnpike in northwest Miami-Dade late Monday morning.
The crash happened at around 11 a.m. in the Turnpike’s northbound lanes near Northwest 106th Street, west of Medley.
Images from traffic cameras showed the truck flipped onto its side.
