MIAMI (WSVN) - A man died Thursday morning after driving against traffic on Interstate 95.
According to Florida Highway Patrol, they received a call just after 2 a.m. of the wrong-way wreck. Officials said the driver was traveling north in the I-95 south express lanes, which were closed due to construction.
Police said the driver hit two trucks — a fully-loaded water tanker truck and street sweeper truck — that were on an active construction site while going north in the southbound lanes.
The driver was pronounced dead on the scene.
A construction worker was hit by debris, officials said, and was transported by ground to Ryder Trauma Center.
Police are continuing their investigation into how the driver entered the wrong lanes.
