In 2020, more than 24,000 (twenty-four thousand!) people were injured in car accidents in Miami-Dade County. For those of us who driver daily in South Florida traffic with its crazy drivers, here’s a warning about ten spots where we need to be particularly careful:
• In Midtown Miami: NE 2nd Ave. and NE 36th Street
• In West Kendall: SW 117th Ave. and Kendall Dr.
• In Coconut Grove: S. Dixie Highway every intersection south of I-95
• In South Miami-Dade: SW 117th Ave. and SW 152nd St.
• In Fort Lauderdale: A1A and Las Olas Blvd.
• In Miami Beach: Alton Rd. and Dade Blvd.
• In Doral: NW 87th St. and NW 36th St.
• In Miami: Brickell Ave. Bridge
• Pembroke Pines: Pines Blvd. and S. Flamingo Rd.
And remember, if you’re in an accident,
• Call 911
• Move your vehicle out of the flow of traffic if possible
• Exchange driver’s information
• Get yourself checked out
• Take pictures
Best advice: Drive defensively and buckle up!
