FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Three men were killed and a fourth man was hospitalized Thursday morning after their car fell from a ramp on Interstate 95 and plummeted about 50 to 75 feet onto the highway below, WPLG-TV reported.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a Jaguar was traveling north on I-95 at about 3:30 a.m. As the vehicle was attempting to exit onto State Road 84, it clipped the wall of the ramp and fell over, landing in the northbound lanes of I-95 below.

Of the four men traveling in the car, only one survived. He was taken to Broward General Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition.
FHP Sgt. Mark Wysocky said speed was a factor in the crash.
"Even though it was 3:25 in the morning, there's still a considerable amount of traffic out here on 95 at any time of the day and it's pretty incredible that another vehicle wasn't struck or another vehicle involved," Wysocky said.
