A single-car rollover crash sent six to the hospital and has shut down most of the northbound lanes in rush hour Tuesday on Florida’s Turnpike in South Miami-Dade County.
Around 5 p.m., a Ford Expedition traveling north on the turnpike in the area of Southwest 288th Street lost control, overturned and collided into a guardrail, Florida Highway Patrol said. It is unclear what caused the crash.
There were six people in the SUV and they have all been taken to Homestead Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Traffic is only flowing on the emergency shoulder where the crash occurred on the turnpike, troopers said.
