MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - A man feels thankful to have been able to have walked away from a brutal wrong-way crash in Miami Gardens.
Edwin Pace was involved in the crash along Northwest 151st Street and 33rd Court late Saturday evening.
“Everything happened so fast,” said Pace.
Officials said a blue Toyota Corolla heading west and attempted to change lanes to pass two other vehicles by entering the eastbound lanes when it slammed into oncoming traffic.
The car crashed into a Chevrolet Camaro with three passengers inside.
Two of the passengers were rushed to area hospitals in unknown condition.
The driver behind the wheel of the Corolla was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center in critical condition where he continues to fight for his life Sunday morning.
Pace was the third passenger inside of the Camero and said the impact was so bad, he barely remembers the crash.
“I just know I got hit,” said Pace. “Everything just went blank.”
7News cameras captured the Corolla with heavy front-end damage and the Camero left crushed.
Pace said he’s grateful he survived the crash and can go home to his loved ones.
”Thankful to be alive and go home to see my kids,” said Pace.
