Miami, FL (May 7, 2020) - A woman is dead and two others were hurt following a hit-and-run crash in Miami on Tuesday, May 5th. The incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. at the intersection of North Miami Avenue and 36th Street.
Police say that two cars collided at the scene. The impact of the crash caused a woman to be ejected from her vehicle. The woman who was ejected later succumbed to her injuries. Authorities have identified her as 23-year-old Ciarah Ramirez. Ramirez's husband and a friend were also passengers in the vehicle. They were critically hurt and were rushed to the Ryder Trauma Center with life-threatening injuries. The driver of the other vehicle fled the scene before police could arrive.
