A passenger is dead and a driver is hospitalized following an early morning rollover crash in Miami Gardens Monday, police said.
The crash happened at 5 a.m. in the area of Northwest 27th Avenue and 207th Street, which is near Calder Casino and Hard Rock Stadium. A stretch of the road was closed and later reopened around noon.
A driver in a blue Subaru was speeding north on 27th Avenue, just north of 207th Street, when it collided with a white, medical transport van, Miami Gardens police said. The force of the crash caused the van to roll over onto its side.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue rescued the van’s trapped driver and passenger. The driver was taken to the hospital. The passenger died on the road from their injuries.
