A dramatic accident occurred on Saturday morning on the I-95, captured on video and leaving many questions about the cause of the crash and the health of those involved. The video has gone viral on the Instagram account Only in Dade, accumulating over 2,200 comments so far.
"Terrifying accident this morning on I-95 South, we hope everyone is okay," reads the caption accompanying the 23-second video, which starkly reveals how quickly life can change. The footage shows a sudden, horrifying moment when a pickup truck traveling in an outer lane tries to cut across three lanes at high speed, presumably to enter the express lane.
The reckless attempt ends with the pickup crashing into a gray sedan that flips over, while the van comes to a halt a few meters away, stopped by a concrete barrier. In the comments section, many users speculated that the pickup driver might have had a medical emergency. If not, they agree almost unanimously that the driver's license should be revoked due to the dangerous maneuver.
However, the final moments of the video reveal the pickup driver opening the vehicle's door, indicating he was not entirely unconscious. "Trying to cut across three lanes (one clearly blocked), without signaling or clear traffic... unless that truck was having a seizure... Lock him up. There are certain points of reckless driving where these people shouldn't even be on the road anymore. It's getting ridiculous," commented one user, a sentiment echoed by many others.
Another commenter suggested the pickup driver might have fallen asleep or had a medical emergency, given the way he crossed those lanes without being alert. On the other hand, a woman claimed that her husband, who witnessed the crash firsthand, said the driver "was very alert and had no emergency." She added that he even blamed others for the incident.
"It’s crazy how your day/life can change in a fraction of a second," noted another commenter. Some speculated the driver might have had a medical emergency, such as a sugar issue, seizure, or stroke. Others pointed out that such incidents are "a normal day in Miami." "You're fighting for your life every day while driving in Miami," another user concluded.
As of the publication of this article, no further details have emerged to clarify the circumstances surrounding the shocking crash.
