A tragic accident occurred early Thursday morning in Miami Gardens, resulting in the death of a bicyclist. The crash took place near the intersection of Miami Gardens Drive and U.S. 441, prompting a swift response from emergency services. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue received a call about the incident at 6:15 a.m. and quickly arrived at the scene. According to reports, a black Nissan heading north on NW 2nd Avenue lost control near NW 182nd Street, leading to the fatal collision.

Driver Loses Control and Strikes Bicyclist

Miami Gardens police detailed the sequence of events that led to the tragic accident. Officer Diana Delgado explained, “The car weaved through some trees and then it took a deadly turn.” The out-of-control vehicle struck a bicyclist who was traveling northbound on the side of the perimeter road. The cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the black Nissan immediately stopped and waited for the authorities to arrive. This responsible action provided crucial information for the ongoing investigation.

Investigation Underway to Determine Cause of Crash

When questioned about potential factors contributing to the crash, Officer Delgado stated, “At this time, we’re not looking at substance but our investigator will determine that at a later time.” This suggests that alcohol or excessive speed may not have been involved, but a thorough investigation is still required to confirm the cause.

The incident has left the Miami Gardens community in shock and mourning. As investigators continue their work, the focus remains on understanding what led to this tragic accident and ensuring that such incidents are prevented in the future. The loss of life, especially under such sudden and unexpected circumstances, is a stark reminder of the importance of road safety for both drivers and cyclists.
