In the early hours of Wednesday, a semitruck overturned in northwest Miami-Dade, causing a significant disruption on northbound U.S. 27 near Krome Avenue.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the incident, which occurred around 2 a.m., was classified as a vehicle crash resulting in injuries. However, details regarding the extent of these injuries remain unclear. The crash led to the blockage of one right lane, creating potential delays for morning commuters.
Images from the scene, captured just before 8 a.m., reveal the crumpled bed of the semitruck on the shoulder of the road, with its cargo strewn across the adjacent grass. This imagery underscores the severity of the accident and its impact on traffic flow in the area.
A tow truck responded to the incident shortly after, although the specific cause of the truck’s rollover has yet to be determined. Witnesses on social media speculated about possible reasons, but official reports have not confirmed any of these theories.
As authorities work to clear the scene and investigate the cause of the crash, the local community is reminded of the potential hazards associated with early morning travel on this busy corridor.
While the investigation into this incident continues, drivers in the region are advised to remain vigilant and consider alternative routes to avoid congestion.
