A fatal crash shut down several northbound lanes of Interstate 75 in Miramar during the Thursday evening commute.
Authorities said the crash happened at about 5:30 p.m. just north of Miramar Parkway. According to investigators, a man was outside his vehicle on the right shoulder changing a tire when another vehicle struck his vehicle or the scene. The man was killed.
A 2-year-old child was inside the man’s vehicle at the time of the crash, according to authorities. No additional details about the child’s condition were confirmed in the available information.
The collision caused major traffic delays in the northbound lanes as crews responded and several lanes were closed during rush hour. Motorists traveling through the area encountered heavy backups while the scene remained under investigation.
Crashes involving stopped vehicles on highway shoulders can be especially dangerous because drivers may have limited space to react at high speeds. Florida’s Move Over Law requires drivers approaching certain stopped vehicles along the roadside to move over when possible or reduce speed when changing lanes is not safe.
The circumstances of the Miramar crash remain under investigation, and no further official details were immediately available.
After a fatal highway crash, families often wait for investigators to complete the official review before learning whether additional findings will be released. In cases involving roadside collisions, those findings may help clarify the sequence of events and any applicable traffic safety issues.
