A major crash on the Florida’s Turnpike in Miami-Dade on Monday left two Florida Highway Patrol troopers hospitalized and caused the roadway to be completely shut down at one point.<\/p>\n

The crash happened around 10:40 a.m. in the northbound lanes of the Turnpike near Northwest 106th Street.<\/p>\n

FHP officials said a silver FHP truck towing a trailer was being followed by a marked FHP Charger when the trailer became disabled by a flat tire.<\/p>\n

Both vehicles pulled over to the emergency shoulder before a black Cadillac SUV veered off the roadway and crashed into the Charger, which struck a trooper who was standing outside near the trailer, officials said.<\/p>\n

Aerial footage from Chopper 6 showed the FHP cruiser heavily damaged in the median of the highway next to the damaged trailer on the back of a pickup, with the SUV nearby with heavy front-end damage.<\/p>\n

First responders were seen assisting at least two people who were injured. One trooper was sitting inside the vehicle at the time of the collision, officials said.<\/p>\n

The crash left all lanes of the Turnpike closed as a Miami-Dade Fire Rescue helicopter landed to airlift at least one of the people who was injured.<\/p>\n

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials confirmed two trauma alert patients were taken to a local hospital.<\/p>\n

FHP officials said the two troopers, identified as Sgt. Alexis Otano and Trooper Amaury Quinones, suffered serious injuries but were expected to survive.<\/p>\n

Otano, 54, was driving the truck and standing near the trailer while Quinones, 32, was inside the car, officials said. They were bringing in a FHP motorcycle for maintenance, officials said.<\/p>\n

At a news conference Monday afternoon, FHP Chief Matthew Williams said the 28-year-old driver of the Cadillac was hospitalized with minor injuries.<\/p>\n

The Cadillac driver has a suspended driver’s license and shouldn’t have been driving, and charges are pending, Williams said.<\/p>\n

Williams called it a “situation that never should have happened,” adding that driver’s are required to move over for emergency vehicles under Florida law.<\/p>\n

“They’re extremely lucky to have survived that incident and obviously it could have been a lot worse,” Williams said.<\/p>\n

The northbound lanes of the Turnpike remained closed into Monday afternoon with traffic being diverted onto Northwest 74th Street.<\/p>\n
