BMW driver accused of fleeing scene after Nissan driver killed in fiery crash in Miami-Dade
MIAMI — A person died after a hit-and-run on Interstate 95 on Saturday and Florida Highway Patrol is looking for the driver involved.
FHP responded to the call at approximately 4:10 a.m. on southbound I-95 just south of NW 79th Street to a two-vehicle crash.
A dark blue BWM sedan traveling southbound in the outside lane collided with the rear of a gold Nissan sedan, according to FHP.
Both vehicles traveled several hundred feet before coming to a rest in the outside lanes of I-95.
The Nissan caught on fire and became fully engulfed with the driver still inside. The driver died at the scene.
The driver of the BMW is believed to have fled on foot from the scene, authorities said.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue arrived and extinguished the fire. The roadway was temporarily closed.
