Miami, FL (March 24, 2025) – A vehicle crash with injuries was reported Monday morning at the intersection of SW 40th St (Bird Rd) and SW 114th Ave in Miami, resulting in injuries and a blocked turning lane that disrupted traffic in the area.
The incident occurred around 9:38 a.m., with emergency crews arriving at the scene by 9:59 a.m. Paramedics and fire rescue teams provided care to individuals suffering from a variety of injuries. Although officials have not confirmed how many people were injured or the severity of those injuries, responders remained on-site to assess and stabilize the situation.
The crash took place along a busy stretch of SW 40th St, also known as Bird Rd, a major east-west corridor in southwest Miami-Dade County. Authorities noted that a turning lane was blocked as a result of the collision, contributing to delays during the mid-morning traffic period.
Local police and Florida Highway Patrol officers are actively investigating the cause of the crash. Contributing factors such as driver error, signal violations, or distractions may be reviewed. Our thoughts are with those injured and affected by the crash.
Car Accidents in Florida
Traffic collisions like the one reported at SW 40th St and SW 114th Ave are all too common across South Florida, especially in high-traffic corridors like Bird Rd. This roadway serves as a key connector between neighborhoods, schools, and commercial centers, making it vulnerable to collisions during peak travel hours.
Even when the crash does not result in a full road closure, a blocked turning lane can lead to congestion, limited maneuverability, and heightened risk for secondary accidents. In this case, the incident required emergency response and likely affected traffic flow in surrounding intersections and feeder streets.
Florida consistently ranks among the states with the highest number of car accidents, and Miami-Dade County sees a large portion of those. Causes often include speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield—particularly at busy intersections where turning movements increase the complexity of traffic flow.
For individuals injured in a crash, recovery involves not just medical care, but often emotional and financial stress. Navigating insurance claims, scheduling treatment, and addressing lost wages can become overwhelming without proper support.
