MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A major crash late Thursday night on Interstate 95 in Miami-Dade County sent multiple people to the hospital, the Florida Highway Patrol confirmed.
According to FHP Lt. Alex Camacho, the crash, which involved 18 vehicles, occurred around 11:25 p.m. in the southbound lanes of the highway near Ives Dairy Road.
Camacho said a tractor-trailer was traveling south as traffic was congested and failed to stop for the vehicles ahead.
“As a result, the tractor trailer collided into several vehicles causing a chain reaction of crashes,” Camacho said in an email to Local 10 News.

Camacho said the driver of the tractor-trailer will face charges. His identity has not yet been released.

Yep. Agreed. They haven’t released the drivers name so that tells you all you need to know.
Let’s see if the trucker could read the sign 5 miles back that said “Slow Down - Construction Ahead” (Just an opinion at this point)
This is not going to stop until there are several incidences of lethal on the spot street justice.
In the meantime it appears we are under terrorist attack.
Being able to read English comes in handy...
I was travelling the I-95 south of Boston back in the day about 30 years ago... 4 lanes of traffic both ways and I was heading north in the left most lane heading towards Boston... A dude in the very right lane decided to move into my lane with everybody traveling at about 70+ miles per hour... He missed several cars and my bumper by a foot when he pulled out in front of me... If he had hit my bumper it would have been a large pile of cars crashing together at once. Thankfully... Somebody was looking out for me and it wasn’t the driver of that car.
That was by far the closest I ever came to being in a multi-vehicle accident.
Florida has Launched immigration checks at Weigh Stations but it will no doubt be a while before all the illegals are eradicated.

I’ll also take a piece of that guess.
Maybe a non English speaker, but my money says it’s still mostly likely the driver was looking at his phone.
best FL can hope for is these drivers start dodging routes to FL.
The strong arm.
We have those same billboards (different sleaze attys) in Houston, San Antonio and El Paso, along I-10, in TX.
Many of the 18 wheelers DO speed through town, though.
It’s the fault of the construction companies for not providing warning signs in 30 different languages.
Children should not be able to enter school until they can speak English it would force parents to learn too.
Video indicates he ran into “slowing traffic” and said nothing about construction.
No warning sign to read.
This could’ve been any inattentive driver.
And since charges have not actually been filed yet, according to the article, the name would typically not be released regardless the circumstance.
I know they do, but possibly not for reasons you might think.
The usual suspects???
Most drivers don’t look much past the end of their hoods. If something happens 100 feet in front of them they don’t see it until it’s too late.
At freeway speeds you need to be paying attention to what’s happening a half-mile down the road from you, because you’ll be on top of it in seconds.
In the 1970’s I spent a lot of time in Boston. I’ve often said that Boston drivers are the worst of any city I have ever driven.
I once met a car driving down the on ramp from the elevated highway in the city.
