Serious Scooter Accident at Northwest 79th Street and 17th Avenue in Northwest Miami-Dade, FL on August 03, 2026

A serious crash shut down part of a busy Northwest Miami-Dade intersection early Monday after a scooter rider was hit by a car.

Authorities said the collision happened just after 6 a.m. at Northwest 79th Street and 17th Avenue. Emergency crews responded to the scene and found the scooter rider and the driver of the car involved in the crash.

The scooter rider was taken by ground ambulance to Ryder Trauma Center for treatment. No injury was reported for the driver of the car based on the information released publicly.

Investigators said the scooter rider was traveling on the wrong side of the road before the impact. Even with that preliminary detail, the crash remained under investigation, and officials had not announced any final findings Monday.

The intersection was closed for several hours, including part of the morning rush, while deputies worked the scene. Traffic has since reopened in the area.

For injured riders and families, the official crash report, medical records, photographs, and any witness information may become important while questions about insurance and recovery are sorted out. In a serious Northwest Miami-Dade collision like this one, some people also choose to speak with a local law firm before making major decisions about claims.
