MIAMI GARDENS, FL : Chain-reaction crash involving 10 cars on Palmetto Expressway on Wednesday, 7th April 2021

A group of drag racers and dangerous drivers caused chaos on a South Florida highway.

They were caught on camera doing donuts on the Palmetto Expressway, causing several other cars to crash. Debris was scattered everywhere in the aftermath.

“People don’t realize that through these actions, they could kill somebody, or hurt somebody,” said Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Joe Sanchez.

From SKY 10 the swirl of skid marks left behind in a couple of places is clear to see.

Troopers said the incident happened in the eastbound lanes of the Palmetto early Tuesday morning, near Northwest 27th Avenue.

“they’re slowing down the traffic, in what’s called a rolling roadblock,” Sanchez said. “They slow it down so the car in front can do donuts.”

Traffic behind is forced to stop.

From the traffic back-up came the accident pile-up.

Troopers said ten cars were involved in the chain-reaction crash.
