Fort Lauderdale, FL (September 3, 2025) – A serious multi-vehicle crash involving a BMW and a bus occurred Tuesday evening on westbound I-95 near Sunrise Blvd, resulting in at least one reported injury and significant traffic disruption.
According to dispatch from Broward County Fire Rescue, the crash was reported at approximately 6:35 p.m. and involved three vehicles. A male occupant of the BMW was reportedly injured and was seen on the shoulder of the interstate receiving attention. The full extent of his injuries has not been disclosed, but emergency responders confirmed the crash involved injury-level trauma.
Police and fire rescue units responded to the scene and worked to assess those involved, manage traffic, and investigate the cause of the collision. Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) confirmed that the accident occurred on the main highway—rather than the overpass—and was causing a major traffic backup.
Details regarding the number of passengers on the bus and the condition of other involved individuals have not yet been released. The crash remains under investigation by FHP and local authorities.
We extend our wishes for a full and swift recovery to those injured in this collision.
Bus-Involved Accidents on Florida Interstates
Multi-vehicle accidents involving buses—like Tuesday’s on I-95 near Sunrise Blvd—often require complex emergency response efforts due to the number of passengers potentially involved and the size of the vehicles. When these crashes happen on major roadways like I-95, they also create significant hazards for approaching traffic and increase the likelihood of secondary collisions.
In this case, the crash involved a BMW and two additional vehicles, with reports indicating that the BMW occupant suffered visible injuries. Crashes involving buses and smaller vehicles often result in greater trauma for occupants of the smaller vehicle, particularly in rear-end or side-impact scenarios.
Florida has seen a growing number of highway-related injury crashes in recent years, and I-95 is among the most accident-prone corridors in the state. Contributing factors often include speed, driver fatigue, lane changes without signaling, and driver inattention—especially in congested urban zones like Fort Lauderdale.
Injury victims from these crashes may face long-term recovery challenges, including hospital stays, physical therapy, and dealing with insurance complications. When commercial or public transport vehicles like buses are involved, determining liability can be even more complex and may involve multiple entities.
