Earlier this month a 19-year-old woman hit a 68-year-old woman while driving, killing the older woman. The fatal car accident occurred early one Sunday morning on Le Jeune Road Road in Coral Gables, Florida. The older woman was on her way home from work when the college student struck the woman while reportedly driving close to 80 mph. Immediately following the accident, despite the smell of alcohol, the young woman was released into her mother’s

Most drivers in Miami are doing what they can to avoid getting into a car accident every time they get in the car to go somewhere. In addition to property damage, car crashes can result in serious injuries to one’s body such as spinal or brain injuries. Unfortunately there are a small number of drivers in South Florida who are more concerned with money than safety. These people are being sought for committing insurance fraud.

Drivers on the Julia Tuttle Causeway were forced into a “lazy Sunday” when an accident shut down the causeway for a few hours. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the four vehicle chain-reaction crash resulted in the death of one person. The car accident occurred as the four vehicles involved traveled east on Biscayne Boulevard toward the causeway. When traffic on Biscayne Boulevard stalled, around 10:30 in the morning, a Honda CRV hit the back

Car accidents involving pedestrians are more common than anyone wants to acknowledge. Most people in Miami assume that they are safe if they are obeying pedestrian traffic laws and not lingering in the street. Sadly, this is not always the case. When a car does collide with a pedestrian the outcome is often catastrophic due to the individual’s lack of protection. Earlier this month a 67-year-old man was killed while sitting at a bus stop

It is easy to take for granted items that are commonplace in today’s cities. One such item is street lights. We rarely notice that they are on, but when they are not working, problems can ensue. Bad lighting is being blamed for a car and pedestrian accident that resulted in serious injuries to a 52-year-old woman in Miami. The accident occurred at the intersection of Northwest Seventh Avenue and 59th Street, around 8:20 p.m. as

Traffic accidents are a leading cause of death among teenagers throughout the nation. Every day in Florida teens are involved in car accidents. Sometimes the outcome results in minor injuries, but in other cases, catastrophic injuries are inflicted which can lead to death. Three teens were killed in a car accident this past week in South Florida. The accident appears to have occurred as at least two cars were street-racing in Doral.

There are many benefits to using buses as transportation. It is less expensive than driving and allows passengers to relax rather than deal with the stress that can accompany driving a car in traffic. When one sets foot on a bus, those stresses of driving are transferred to the driver who is responsible for the safety of all passengers. Earlier this week a crash involving two buses occurred on Southwest 288th Street and South Dixie

Although many Florida parents want nothing more than to know that their children are safe, a recent study suggests that the driving habits of parents may actually be harmful to their children. According to a doctor at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, grandparents behind the wheel are half as likely as parents to cause car accidents when children are passengers. Ten percent of accidents between 2003 and 2007, which involved 217,976 children, occurred when grandparents

In a list of the ten most dangerous metro areas across the nation for pedestrians compiled by Transportation for America, cities in Florida took the top four slots. The Orlando area was number one on the list for the most dangerous metro area for pedestrians. Miami was listed at number four.
