A woman said she was outraged that deputies were making her wait to see if the body covered by a yellow tarp, behind crime scene tape, was her son. She ran towards the body, yelled, and was later in tears.

Humzah Khan’s father, Taimur Khan, shared a video recorded with a Red Tiger Dash Cam while Humzah waited on the eastbound lanes of Biscayne Drive at Old Dixie Highway.

Khan, 17, a Mast Academy student, was on his way to Home Depot when the camera recorded the two vehicles colliding near him, and he surrendered the camera’s memory card to detectives.

“I gave him this camera as a precaution,” Taimur Khan said about the Red Tiger Dash Cam that recorded the crash.

The video the Khan family shared with Local 10 News shows a red vehicle traveling southbound on Old Dixie Highway, and a black tow truck traveling westbound on Biscayne Drive.

The video also shows the force of the impact propelled the red vehicle southbound, and it went airborne before landing on a grassy area just outside the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Firehouse 6, at 15890 SW 288 St.

“Miami-Dade Fire Rescue arrived and pronounced the adult male deceased on scene,” M-DSO Detective Samantha Choon wrote in a statement. “Another adult male was injured and transported in critical condition to a local hospital.”

SKY 10’s aerial video shows debris from the red vehicle in a grassy area, and there was a yellow tarp on the sidewalk.

Traffic homicide detectives assumed the investigation, according to Choon, a spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.

M-DFR Fire rescue personnel respond to a crash on Monday in Miami-Dade County.

According to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, M-DFR personnel had to use a helicopter to fly the injured.

The M-DFR helicopter landed on a field near U.S. 1 and Biscayne Drive, in the vicinity of the Coral Castle, a museum and garden. Milca Macary was among the area’s residents who saw the crash’s aftermath.

“I heard the biggest sound I ever heard in my life. We saw the truck there. Then we saw that other red truck, and it was, like, upside down, and it was, like, really bad,” Macary said.
