MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — A 22-year-old Hispanic woman died Thursday morning after running a red light and then crashing into a Miami-Dade County transit bus in Miami Gardens, police said.
The crash was reported just after 5 a.m. in the area of Northwest 199th Street and Seventh Avenue.
The intersection was completely closed off after the crash.
Investigators at the scene told Local 10 News that the victim was driving a gray Hyundai Sonata when she slammed into the bus.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Because the transit buses are equipped with cameras, investigators were able to quickly review footage of the crash to see what occurred.
“Preliminary investigation indicates the Hyundai was traveling eastbound on NW 199th Street and ran a red light, colliding with the transit bus, which had a green arrow while turning left onto NW 7th Avenue,” a spokesperson for MGPD said in an email to Local 10 News.
According to police, one passenger on the bus complained of injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital.
The driver’s identity has not yet been released.
