MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - Four people have been transported to the hospital following a fiery crash in Miami Gardens.
The crash took place near the Chef Creole restaurant along the 20000 block of Northwest Second Avenue, at around 11 p.m., Wednesday.
According to witnesses, a white Ford Mustang and a black Mercedes-Benz collided. The Mustang flipped, they said, and immediately caught fire.
Two good Samaritans who live nearby the scene spoke to 7News to explain their life-saving efforts.
They said they found one person face down on the ground near the burning car.
“We tried to like, pick her up [and] bring her to the grass area, away from the fire and stuff,” said Jose Nieves.
“When I went and I saw through that window, I saw that girl just staring at me like I’m the only person that could help her,” said Justin Glendenning.
They said they helped to contain the fire and turn the car onto its side.
“We tried to gather up as much people as we could to try to push the car on its side,” said Nieves. “We were able to get a guy free and another woman.”
Glendenning and Nieves were able to pull all passengers from both vehicles and are thankful the victims were all able to survive.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue crews responded to the scene and transported all four victims.
The driver of the Mustang was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center in critical condition.
The driver of the Mercedes was taken to Aventura Hospital with injuries that were deemed not life-threatening.
The other two victims were transported to Jackson Memorial North Trauma Center in unknown condition.
“I just hope the best recovery for them and hopefully one day we could see each other and, you know, thank each other for everything,” said Glendenning.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
