DANIA BEACH, Fla. – A man was killed early Friday morning in a crash that shut down all northbound lanes of Interstate 95 at Stirling Road.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a man driving a motor scooter was traveling north on I-95 when he was struck from behind by a Chevrolet Cruze. The driver was thrown off the scooter and run over by two other vehicles. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
"It's a very gruesome scene," FHP Sgt. Mark Wysocky told Local 10 News.
The victim was later identified as Willie Hill, 47, of Fort Lauderdale.
His body was covered by a yellow tarp in the middle of the highway.
Wysocky said Hill's scooter was pinned under the tractor-trailer that was the first to run him over.
Traffic was backed up for miles after the fatal crash.
Northbound I-95 reopened to traffic shortly after 10:30 a.m., more than seven hours after the crash.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
