Miami Gardens, FL (February 26, 2019) - One woman is dead in a crash on the Palmetto Expressway which happened around 4:00 a.m. on Tuesday, February 26th.
Troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol report that a grey Volkswagen was traveling on the Expressway, near the exit for Northwest 27th Avenue, when it collided with a tow truck, causing it to catch fire. Rescue officials were able to get the Volkswagen driver out of the burning vehicle and rushed her to the Ryder Trauma Center and Jackson Memorial Hospital.
