Car Runs Stop Sign, Crashes into Parked Vehicle and Slams into Southwest Miami‑Dade Home

Surveillance video showing the sedan running a stop sign has focused investigators on the chain‑reaction crash's cause.

Overview

  • A high‑speed, two‑vehicle collision near Monroe Street and SW 139th Avenue sent one car through a fence and into a parked vehicle that cracked the front wall of a nearby house.
  • Four people involved in the crash were taken to hospital with three in critical condition and one listed as stable, according to Miami‑Dade detectives.
  • Detectives cited surveillance and doorbell footage showing the gray sedan blew through a stop sign and struck a red minivan, triggering the chain reaction captured on video.
