Miami-Dade Firefighters Rescue Two People After Early Morning Rollover Crash
MIAMI, FLORIDA – Miami-Dade Fire Rescue crews pulled off a dramatic early-morning rescue after a rollover crash left two people trapped inside an overturned vehicle near SW 197 Street and Grossman Drive. Officials say the accident occurred around 5:48 a.m. on October 25, when the vehicle lost control, veered off the road, and came to rest upside down among dense trees.
Firefighters Arrive to Find Occupants Trapped
When emergency teams arrived, they found the vehicle heavily damaged and surrounded by brush, making access difficult. Both occupants were trapped inside and unable to escape on their own. Firefighters immediately began using specialized hydraulic tools to pry open the vehicle and safely remove the victims.
Rescue teams worked meticulously in the dark, coordinating between ground crews and air rescue units to stabilize and extract the injured.
Victims Airlifted for Emergency Treatment
Once freed, both individuals were treated on-site before being airlifted by the Miami-Dade #AirRescue team to a nearby trauma center for urgent medical care. Officials confirmed that both victims were alive when transported, though their conditions have not yet been released.
Authorities say the cause of the crash remains under investigation, and it’s unclear whether speed, fatigue, or weather played a role.
Quick Response Credited for Saving Lives
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue praised the fast coordination between first responders, noting that the timely response likely prevented further tragedy. “The use of specialized tools and teamwork made the difference,” one firefighter said at the scene. “When minutes matter, preparation and training are what save lives.”
