NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A collision between a car and a motorcycle claimed the life of a person Friday morning.
The crash happened along Northwest 135th Street and Seventh Avenue in Northwest Miami-Dade.
Live video footage showed a body on the road covered with a tarp, indicating the severity of the incident.
Surveillance footage obtained by 7News, showed a gray Chevy approaching the intersection as it made, what appeared to be, a left turn. The motorcycle then slammed into the side of the car and burst into flames.
A witness who worked in a business near the crash site said he saw the motorcycle burst into flames after it hit the car.
The aftermath of the crash left the vehicle smashed in on its passenger side and all of its airbags deployed, along with a demolished motorcycle that, a witness said, was parted in half due to the collision.
A man who called 911 after witnessing the crash said the flames were about two to three yards wide. Additionally, he mentioned that police officers were at the scene a few minutes later.
“I see the flames coming very high and very wide, like two to three yards and very high,” he said. “I don’t see nobody from here. I called police and two minutes, three minutes, police close in around. I don’t know what’s happening.”
Authorities had the road shut down for several hours, but around 7 a.m., police were seen clearing up the scene.
The identity of the victim has not been disclosed as police continue to investigate the incident.
