Zachary Spiewak stands next to a crumpled guardrail at SW 102nd Avenue. He says he has called Miami-Dade county on numerous occasions to ask that they solve the problem because drivers will keep plowing through the rail and go into the canal like what happened to a young woman two weeks ago.

She only gave her name as Rosanna B. said she was swam out of the car that sank in seconds and after she unbuckled her seat belt, swam to shore where a woman helped her and waited for Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to arrive.
