NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Rescue crews took a woman to the hospital after her car collided with a garbage truck in Northwest Miami-Dade, leaving her trapped inside her vehicle.
Miami-Dade Police and Fire Rescue crews responded to the scene of the crash near Northwest 95th Street and 12th Avenue, just after 3 a.m., Saturday.
The impact left the victim’s car mangled — with her trapped inside.
Crews used the Jaws of Life to free the victim from her car.
“In order to remove her, we had to remove the roof and remove the door where she was also trapped by the dashboard,” said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Capt. Ray Bell, “so it was an extended extrication, and the rescue crew was here to take her over to the trauma center.”
The victim was taken to the hospital as a trauma alert. Her condition remains unknown.
