HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Two women have died following a crash Thursday morning in Homestead that involved a Tesla and a large truck, authorities confirmed.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at about 3:30 a.m. in the northbound lanes of South Dixie Highway near Southwest 127th Avenue.
Troopers said the driver of the Tesla crashed into the back of the truck, which was part of a caravan of trucks driving slowly in the area, at about 20 mph.
The truck drivers had just finished working up the street before the crash occurred, authorities said.
Both women, who authorities said were in their late 20s or early 30s, were pronounced dead at the scene.
“That’s my son’s wife – one of those girls,” Constantine Allwood told Local 10 News. “I feel a way for her because she’s very young. She’s supposed to live out her life.”
The victims’ bodies were removed from the Tesla shortly after 7 a.m.
It’s unclear what caused the driver to crash into the back of the truck. The investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
