Miami police spokesman Freddie Cruz said a van carrying eight high school students was heading east when it was cut off by a Nissan Sentra making a left turn, which was carrying an elderly man and his wife.
Other vehicles were hit during the collision involving the two vehicles. Cruz said everyone involved in the crash suffered injuries.
A group of students who also attend Green Springs High School, and were on their lunch break, witnessed the crash and rushed over to help the victims.
"We looked to the side and we saw the van already flipping so we started running over there," Jesus Abreau told Local 10 News.
"We were communicating the whole way, like he was telling me break the window, I got him…You know we just worked as a team," Alexei Marquez said.
Cruz said the elderly man was taken to a hospital after the crash and died from his injuries.
The students involved in the crash range in age from 17 to 19 years old, authorities said.
The extent of the other victims' injuries were not immediately released.
