A dramatic accident occurred on Friday night in Miami Beach when a sports car crashed into several trees on the 6400 block of Collins Avenue.
The incident was reported at 6:53 p.m. and resulted in one person being injured, according to the Miami Beach police.
Images of the incident shared through the news site Only in Dade showed several bystanders attempting to help the driver before the emergency teams arrived.
The only occupant of the vehicle was urgently transported to the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital by the Miami Beach Fire Department, according to Local 10 News.
Witnesses of the accident stated that a dog traveling in the car ran away from the scene after the impact. "I didn't see what happened, but people usually speed in this area," commented a resident of a nearby condominium building.
So far, authorities have not disclosed additional details about the possible causes of the accident or the identity of the driver. The police are continuing their investigation to clarify the reasons for the collision and to determine if any external factors were involved.
This accident adds to a series of recent incidents involving vehicles crashing into trees in Florida.
In September, a driver lost their life after crashing into a tree on the Palmetto Expressway in Miami, an incident that highlighted the dangers of speeding in that area.
In March, a person died after their truck collided with a tree in Florida, highlighting the importance of exercising caution on urban roads.
In addition, in August, the fall of a tree caused severe damage to a Tesla and a Toyota pickup in Miami, raising concerns among residents about the maintenance of vegetation in high-traffic areas.
More recently, in September, a vehicle got trapped between a tree and the balcony of a parking lot in Coral Gables, a situation that required the intervention of firefighters to rescue the driver.
