Estefan recording studio hit by dump truck after crash

A familiar scene played out on the streets of Miami-Dade on Memorial Day.

An accident. An out-of-control vehicle. A crash into a building.

Crescent Moon Studios, owned by Gloria and Emilio Estefan, survived the impact.

A pillar was heavily damaged and some trees outside were flattened. It wasn’t clear whether there was damage inside the studio complex.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said two people were injured in the crash at Southwest 40th Street and 62nd Avenue and taken to an area hospital. Two others had minor injuries.

Rescuers say the truck collided with an SUV before hitting the Estefans’ studio.

“All is well at the studio,” Frank Amadeo, president of Estefan Enterprises, said on Monday. “Thankfully, the studio was closed for the holiday and no one was hurt on our end. We are all hoping and praying for the drivers involved in the accident.”

Daughter Emily Estefan has her own studio inside the complex. She recorded her debut album there two years ago.
