NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FL : Passenger killed after being thrown from car after crash with truck in NW Miami-Dade near Northwest 27th Avenue and 38th Street on Tuesday, 29th January 2019

Police are investigating after a passenger was killed in a crash in Northwest Miami-Dade.

The incident occurred near Northwest 27th Avenue and 38th Street just after 2:30 p.m.

Miami-Dade Fire rescue responded to the scene and found the female passenger had been ejected from a black sedan after it collided with a tractor trailer. She was pronounced dead at the scene, fire rescue said.

Witnesses said the driver of the black sedan was traveling on 38th Street, tried to make a turn, careened with the tire of the tractor trailer and spun out, causing the ejection.

“He made a right turn, and she was coming straight,” one witness said. “I guess she didn’t see him and ran into it. We ran out, and all we see was a car in smoke and fire.”

An adult male has been transported to an area hospital in unknown condition.

Miami-Dade Police have shut down 27th Avenue in both directions at Northwest 36th Street and 41st Street.
