Miami, FL (September 3, 2026) – Two people were hospitalized after a multi-vehicle crash on Wednesday, September 2, on eastbound State Road 112 near Northwest 22nd Avenue in Northwest Miami-Dade.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded to the crash Wednesday afternoon. The collision involved a box truck, a flatbed truck, and a car carrier.
The eastbound lanes were closed for several hours, causing significant traffic delays during the afternoon rush. Tow trucks later removed the damaged vehicles, and all lanes have since reopened.
The condition of the two people who were hospitalized was not immediately available. Details about what led to the crash also remained unclear.
Our thoughts are with both people injured in this crash and their loved ones. We wish them a full and speedy recovery.
How Can Drivers Stay Safe Around Large Commercial Vehicles?
Large commercial vehicles such as box trucks, flatbed trucks, and car carriers have larger blind spots and need more room to maneuver than passenger cars. Drivers traveling near these vehicles should avoid staying alongside them for long periods, particularly where the truck driver’s view may be limited. Leaving additional space can give everyone more time to respond if traffic changes suddenly.
Commercial vehicles also require greater stopping distances, especially when they are carrying heavy loads. Passenger-vehicle drivers should avoid cutting closely in front of trucks because doing so can reduce the amount of time available for the larger vehicle to slow down. When passing, motorists should move through the vehicle’s blind spot efficiently and return to the lane only after creating adequate space.
Highway traffic can become more difficult to navigate when multiple large vehicles are traveling together. Drivers should maintain a steady speed, monitor surrounding traffic, and check mirrors before changing lanes. Staying patient and allowing larger vehicles enough room to maneuver can help reduce the risk of sudden conflicts on busy expressways.
