North Miami-Dade, FL (February 28, 2025) – Six people were hospitalized early Friday morning after a van lost control and crashed into a home on Northwest 119th Street, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities reported that the white van, carrying multiple passengers, veered off the roadway around 5 a.m. and struck two parked cars in a driveway before barreling through the garage door of a residence. Surveillance footage captured the van crossing over the median before slamming into the vehicles and eventually coming to a stop inside the home’s garage.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to the scene, with aerial footage showing first responders assessing the injured individuals. All six passengers inside the van were transported to an area hospital, with three in critical condition. Officials have not yet disclosed further details regarding the severity of their injuries.
Following the crash, the van was towed away, leaving homeowners to assess the extensive damage to their property. The westbound lanes of NW 119th Street near I-95 were temporarily closed but have since reopened. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash, including what led the driver to lose control.
Our thoughts are with the injured individuals, and we hope for their full recovery.
