NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. — The Florida Highway Patrol says two people are dead after a car plunged off an Interstate 95 overpass in Northwest Miami-Dade on Friday and burst into flames.
According to FHP, a black Mercedes was on the northbound I-95 entrance ramp at the Golden Glades Interchange around 2:25 a.m. when it crashed through a concrete barrier, struck a traffic sign, went off the overpass, and landed on its roof on southbound I-95.
The vehicle then exploded in flames.
FHP said a man and woman inside the Mercedes died at the scene.
The deceased driver was identified as 21-year-old Troy Jozef Andrews, and the passenger as 21-year-old Brooklyn Taylor Easter.
The fiery wreck caused major delays overnight and into the morning commute as southbound I-95, along with the ramps to the Florida Turnpike, Palmetto Expressway, and U.S. 441 were all shut down.
