A man and a woman were killed early Friday morning in a crash on the southbound lanes of U.S. 1 and Southwest 208th Drive, authorities said.
Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies and fire rescue crews responded around midnight after receiving reports of a serious traffic collision.
Authorities said when deputies arrived, they found two mangled vehicles — a black Mercedes and a black BMW — involved in the crash.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue pronounced both drivers dead at the scene.
They said the Mercedes was being driven by a woman, and the BMW was driven by a man.
Local 10’s Jolena’s Esperto was at the scene, where she saw a piece of the woman’s hair on the roof of the car she was driving. The ages and identities of the drivers were not immediately released.
Miami-Dade traffic homicide detectives spent almost eight hours at the scene investigating and cleaning up before tow trucks removed the vehicles.
Authorities confirmed that all southbound lanes of U.S. 1 were reopened just before 8 a.m., and traffic is no longer affected.
Investigators have not yet released information about what caused the crash. Authorities said they will provide updates as more details become available.
