In a recent incident in Southwest Miami-Dade, a Miami Police officer was involved in a single-vehicle crash, highlighting traffic disruptions in the area.
The incident, which took place just after 3:30 p.m. on the northbound Turnpike Extension north of Quail Roost Drive, saw a Miami Police officer on their way to work when the crash occurred. Fortunately, the officer emerged unharmed, and no injuries have been reported.
Responding swiftly to the scene, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and Florida Highway Patrol units ensured public safety and managed the situation. As a result of the incident, two lanes on the northbound side of the Turnpike Extension were blocked, which led to significant delays for drivers.
