Florida’s Treacherous I-95, Setting for Multiple Car Accidents in May
May appears to be a popular month for auto accidents on Florida's I-95. Several car accidents took the lives of a handful of Florida drivers.
Northbound I-95 Car Accident Causes Explosion, Kills Taxi Cab Driver
Last month, a vehicle struck the rear end of a taxi cab while traveling northbound on I-95 in close proximity to 95th street causing both vehicles to catch on fire. The Florida Highway Patrol indicates that the vehicle struck the rear of the cab after the taxi blew a tire. The cab driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the other vehicle sustained minor injuries.
Four Dead after Three-Car Chain Reaction on I-95
Another three-car chain reaction on I-95 near 103rd Street injured two people and took the lives of four others.
Investigators say that the injuries and fatalities caused from the three-car chain reaction were not due from the vehicle impact per se but due to the negligence of other vehicles. After the three-car collision, the victims left their cars and were subsequently struck by other vehicles while walking on the roadway nearby.
Vehicle Traveling North I-95 Strikes Woman, Pins Her beneath Vehicle
Another multi-vehicle accident occurred last month on the treacherous highway that left two drivers injured. After throwing both passengers from the vehicle, a Ford Explorer swerved both right and left then crossed the northbound lanes of I-95 where it struck a Hyundai Elantra. A passing Ford Crown Victoria then struck one of the passengers from the Explorer pinning her beneath the car.
Both passengers of the Ford Explorer were treated for injuries at a nearby hospital.
Reports do not indicate whether alcohol or drugs were involved in any of the accidents that occurred on I-95.
If you have been injured from an auto accident on I-95, consulting with an experienced Florida car accident attorney is recommended.
