Miami, FL (March 25, 2025) – Emergency crews responded late Tuesday morning to a vehicle crash involving injuries on the southbound ramp from SR-826 (Palmetto Expressway) to Coral Way in Miami. The crash was reported at approximately 11:43 a.m., with emergency responders arriving on the scene within minutes.
Paramedics and fire crews from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue treated individuals at the scene who sustained a variety of injuries in the collision. While the exact number of victims and the severity of their injuries have not been officially confirmed, medics worked to stabilize those affected and transport anyone requiring further care.
The crash led to a full blockage of the exit ramp, creating major traffic delays for drivers attempting to exit SR-826 onto Coral Way. This closure occurred during a busy midday window, affecting both commuters and commercial traffic across this heavily used Miami corridor.
Authorities are actively investigating the cause of the crash. While official findings have not yet been released, contributing factors may include speed, merging lane conflicts, or reduced visibility along the curved exit ramp. The investigation remains ongoing, and no further details about the vehicles or individuals involved have been made public.
Our thoughts are with the injured, and we wish them a full and quick recovery.
Ramp Collisions in Florida
Tuesday’s ramp crash on SR-826 in Miami reflects a common but serious traffic safety issue throughout Florida: the heightened risk of injury accidents on highway exit and entrance ramps. These transitional zones, especially on high-volume expressways like the Palmetto, are vulnerable to rear-end collisions, lane-change conflicts, and sudden braking—particularly near exits such as Coral Way, which serve busy urban corridors.
Ramp crashes, while often confined to small spaces, can result in significant injuries due to higher speeds and abrupt changes in traffic flow. In Miami-Dade County, the combination of dense traffic, aggressive driving, and limited room for maneuvering makes areas like the SR-826 ramps especially prone to dangerous collisions.
The full ramp blockage following this incident illustrates how even a single-vehicle or multi-car crash can disrupt traffic for extended periods. These closures also pose challenges for emergency responders navigating congested lanes to reach the injured quickly.
For crash victims, the aftermath often involves more than physical recovery. Navigating insurance claims, vehicle repairs, and potential long-term medical care can be overwhelming without the right guidance.
