SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - One person was killed and two people were injured in an overnight crash between an SUV and an ATV in Southwest Miami-Dade.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to the crash along the intersection of Southwest 137th Avenue and 112th Street, at around 11:30 p.m., Wednesday.

Investigators said the ATV was headed north on 137th Avenue when the Lexus, which was headed south, made a left turn in front of the ATV on 112th Street. Police said the SUV driver turned in front of the ATV, which is how they collided.

All three victims were rushed to the hospital. Juan Carlos Marquez, the 22-year-old driver of the ATV, succumbed to his injuries. Andrea Rodriguez-Caceres, the 23-year-old who was riding with him, was last listed in critical condition.

The driver of the SUV, 64-year-old Jose Edward Victorero, was also listed in critical condition.

“We had two people that were turned over and thrown out of the [ATV], but then pinned under the side-by-side,” said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Lt. Raul Louzado.

According to officials, crews had to lift up the ATV to rescue Rodriguez-Caceres, who was trapped underneath.

As a result, 137th Avenue was shutdown north and southbound for about five hours. It has since reopened.

“We had about seven people – we had to just push it up slightly, and we were able to just get her out,” said Louzado, “because it looked like her head might have been pinned under there.”

Those who knew Marquez said he was a good person who did not get into trouble and was a hard worker.

At this point, the factors that led to the crash remains unknown. Miami-Dade Police is now investigating.
