A truck into a building, a scooter down — and part of Flagler Street shut down in Miami
Westbound lanes of Flagler Street were closed for two blocks early in Thursday’s rush hour after a pickup truck smashed into the side of a building.
Overhead video from WSVN-Channel 7 also showed a scooter down near the crash into the UniVista Insurance building, 3061 W. Flagler St.
Miami police shut down Flagler in both directions from Northwest 29th to 31st avenues around 6:45 a.m. before getting the eastbound lanes, busier during the morning rush hour, open around 7:10 a.m.
Police say the truck driver hit the scooter before careening into the UniVista office. The scooter rider, a man in his 20s, was described as being in “serious, but stable” condition. The truck driver stayed on the scene.
