Two people had to be taken to the hospital after a wrong-way crash involving a truck on the Florida Turnpike in Doral.

The crash happened near Northwest 41st Street on the Turnpike’s northbound lanes, at around 6:30 a.m., Sunday.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a man driving a white Dodge pickup truck was traveling southbound on the northbound lanes when he crashed a head-on with a Volkswagen SUV. A white Cadillac Escalade was also involved in the crash.

“I don’t know. I’m just so shook up right now. I just don’t know,” the Escalade’s driver, who declined to share her name, said. “We’re on different lanes. Just as I saw the lights, it was hitting the vehicle already. The ambulance took him and took the other lady.”
