A significant vehicle pileup occurred on Saturday night on Miami's Palmetto Expressway, involving nearly a dozen cars that sustained material damage. As of this report, it remains unclear whether any of the drivers involved suffered major injuries.
"A chaotic accident involving multiple vehicles on the Palmetto Southbound. Injury details remain undisclosed at this time. We hope everyone is safe," reported the incident-focused Instagram account, Only in Dade.
The event took place on the well-known Miami thoroughfare (SR 826), near the exit onto West 49th Street (SR 932), a major commercial route that spans east to west across northern Miami-Dade County. Images from the scene depicted a significant gathering of individuals on the highway. Accidents of this scale often lead to substantial traffic congestion on these heavily traveled roads.
In a related incident last September, a crash on the Palmetto Expressway resulted in one fatality and three injuries. The Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR) reported that the accident occurred in the Miami Gardens area on eastbound SR 826, close to Northwest 17th Avenue, when a vehicle collided with a tree.
Aerial footage showed a Honda Accord sedan with side damage and a tarp on the road. Emergency responders, including firefighters, the Florida Highway Patrol, and Miami Gardens Police, were present at the scene. According to an official statement from Local 10, the driver swerved to avoid debris, lost control, and crashed into a tree. The deceased was a passenger seated behind the driver, pronounced dead at the scene. The driver and two other passengers sustained severe injuries and were airlifted to HCA Florida Aventura Hospital with critical conditions.
