Miami, FL (September 24, 2018) - Authorities have identified the victims affected by a fatal crash on the Florida Turnpike. The crash took place on Friday, September 21st when a Honda Civic failed to negotiate a curve on the northbound entrance ramp at Southwest 88th Street. The Civic collided with an oil tanker which in turn collided with a Chevy Impala and a Ford van.
Two occupants of the Impala were killed in the crash. They have been identified as Rene Hernandez, 68, and Natalia Landin, 67. A backseat passenger, 67-year-old Mirta Estupinan, was seriously injured. 27-year-old Kritzia Lopez, the Honda Driver, suffered serious injuries in the collision as well. At least five others sustained injuries ranging from minor to serious.
The Turnpike was closed for several hours at this location while authorities conducted an investigation. There is no word at this time on whether charges will be issued.
We are saddened to hear of this terrible, tragic crash on the Florida Turnpike. Multi-vehicle highway collisions can produce some of the most devastating results of any type of car accident that we see. In this crash, it appears as though the Honda driver could have avoided the accident by properly merging onto the highway. Many serious and fatal accidents are caused by cars merging improperly at high speeds, and every hour, almost 30 people are injured in crashes on our roads.
