A driver was killed early Monday when an SUV collided with a truck and caught fire on Interstate 95 in Miami, Florida Highway Patrol troopers said.
The fiery crash shut down all northbound lanes of I-95 at Northwest 62nd Street (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Blvd.) and sent traffic into gridlock. Drivers were diverted off the highway, causing heavy delays during the morning rush hour. Express lanes were also shut down.
All lanes reopened by 8:30 a.m.
Troopers say the collision between the Buick SUV and the truck happened around 3:30 a.m. Both vehicles caught fire. A picture of the crash shows part of the SUV underneath the truck. The SUV driver was trapped and died in the burning vehicle, troopers said. The truck driver was not injured.
The identity of the driver who died will not be released until family is notified.
