MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. — Martin County Fire Rescue confirms a single-vehicle crash on I-95 Saturday, May 17, at around 8:40 p.m. The incident occurred on the northbound side at mile marker 110, near Martin Highway.

MCFR says two male occupants died at the scene and a female was transported to the hospital with serious injuries.

WPTV's Zitlali Solache spoke with a motorcyclist who was heading home, and witnessed the crash in real time.

“As we were going, there was cars racing in and out of traffic," said Dino Faiella.

Just moments later, Faiella saw the car crash into the guardrail and immediately jumped into action.

“There was no way I was just not going to jump out and help and at least see what I could do," said Faiella. “We checked his pulse and as soon as we started rendering aid, FHP was literally on scene within seconds.”

Florida Highway Patrol continues to investigate the crash.

“It really is sad. I feel bad, I’ve actually been in contact with the family and it’s just heartbreaking on everyone’s side.”

The loss is heavy for Faiella, especially after losing his best friend on I-95 years ago.

“Just slow down. It’s not worth it," said Faiella. "Just slow down."
