Published on: April 27, 2022 | By The Law Office of Ruth E. Johnson, P.A.

On Thursday, April 21, 2022, around 4:00 p.m., six individuals were injured in a car accident in Coconut Creek on Thursday, four of them were minors. The skid tracks left on the road, according to police, are solid evidence that the automobile was speeding. All six occupants of the car were taken to the hospital. Two of them are in their thirties. The other four were adolescent females, one of them was only 14 years old. The collision happened soon after 4 p.m., near the intersection of Coconut Creek Parkway and NW 45th Avenue, less than 100 feet from Fire Station 50. The automobile accident was filmed on surveillance camera from a neighboring property. A red Chevy Camaro, it’s thought, lost control and smashed into a traffic control box. Customers at a nearby restaurant witnessed the terrifying events. The restaurant’s security camera captures the automobile speeding by just before it loses control. The extent of the destruction can be seen in aerial photographs of the disaster. Investigators are now trying to discover out why the automobile was speeding before losing control, leaping the median, and colliding with the traffic control box. The patrons of the restaurant pray for the victims of the accident. Two victims were transported to Broward Health North, a trauma hospital with levels one and two. It’s unclear if they were wearing a seatbelt or were thrown out of the vehicle.

On Saturday, April 16, 2022, around 5:20 a.m., according with Florida Highway Patrol, a hit-and-run collision on the Howard Frankland Bridge stopped all southbound lanes of I-275 and wounded a Tampa man.

According to troopers, the motorist of the sedan lost control of the car for an unknown cause and proceeded to the outer shoulder of the road, finally hitting with a barrier wall. The sedan returned to the lane, but then collided with the trailer being hauled by the Pathfinder. Following the collision, the vehicle came to a halt in the I-275 traffic lanes.

On Tuesday, April 12, 2022, around 7:00 p.m., an out-of-control motorist struck a convenience store in North Lauderdale, and the automobile wound up inside the store. North Lauderdale Fire Rescue and Broward Sheriff’s Office officers were sent to a traffic collision in which a car plowed into the One Food Stop at 4000 Bailey Road. After the truck drove into the convenience shop, Phillipe Marcellus claimed he heard a tremendous boom and saw shattered glass, twisted metal, and shocked witnesses as he walked outside of his employment. “I saw the automobile and everyone shouting,” Marcellus explained. “It appeared as if the driver was attempting to come to a halt, but the automobile continued on.” Marcellus, who works next door at a barbershop, said he witnessed the driver get out of his car. “He was clutching his leg, so hopefully he’s well,” Marcellus remarked. According to Ramirez, someone who was standing out outside the business was injured and had to be brought to the hospital. He and others spent the remainder of the night repairing the damage, and while repairs would be necessary, he expressed gratitude that things did not turn out worse. According to BSO, the man who was admitted to a hospital will be well. The driver that smashed into the business, according to BSO, cooperated and remained on the site.

Brightline Train Strikes with a Car on Aventura’s Rails

Published on: April 7, 2022 | By The Law Office of Ruth E. Johnson, P.A.

On Monday, April 4, 2022, around 3:00 p.m., a Brightline train crashed with a car on the rails in Aventura. Surveillance footage from a neighboring business shows the motorist of the gray car swerving around a white SUV, then onto the rails and into the direction of the train. The vehicle appears to have driven in the westbound lane against traffic and across the eastbound gate, which seemed to be broken. Aventura police were on the scene of the crash, which occurred shortly after 3 p.m. near 21500 E. Dixie Highway, exactly on the border separating Hallandale Beach and Aventura. Parts of the car, including what seems to be its engine and gearbox, were seen scattered over the pavement. According to witnesses, the driver, who has yet to be named, was able to just walk away from the collision and was taken to a local hospital. The automobile was eventually taken away from the site. Several cars have attempted to circumvent the safety gates in recent months. Passengers on a Brightline train were stranded for more than two hours last week when it crashed with a tractor trailer towing a Tesla. Drivers were advised to seek an alternative route by officials.

Tesla Autopilot Crash Suit Exempts Elon Musk from Testifying

Published on: March 23, 2022 | By The Law Office of Ruth E. Johnson, P.A.

According to a Florida court, Elon Musk will not be required to testify in the first case to go to trial in which Tesla Inc.’s Autopilot is blamed for a deadly incident. Tesla has demonstrated that Musk “does not have unique personal knowledge of the issues in the case,” according to a short judgment by Florida Circuit Court Judge Janis Keyser. The case originates from the death of a 50-year-old man in Florida in 2019, after his Tesla Model 3 collided with the underbelly of a semi-trailer vehicle crossing a highway. The case is set to go to trial in Palm Beach County on September 20. Despite a similar tragedy at a traffic intersection in 2016 that died another Florida man who had activated Autopilot, the Banner family alleges Tesla failed to modify Autopilot so it would shut down in risky situations. Tesla’s lawyers have maintained that the firm has been upfront and honest about Autopilot’s flaws, such as the difficulty of recognizing traffic passing in front of its vehicles. According to the business’s attorneys, the corporation informs drivers on car screens and in the owner’s handbook that they must be vigilant and ready to take over the vehicles at any time. The case is Banner v. Tesla Inc., 50-2019-CA-0099662, Palm Beach County, Florida, Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit.

Officers in Jacksonville and Clay County Were Injured in Separate Car Accident

Published on: March 22, 2022 | By The Law Office of Ruth E. Johnson, P.A.

On Thursday, March 17, 2022, around 11:40 p.m., in Jacksonville, three different collisions involving local police in less than a day left one police officer critically injured. The most recent collision occurred at a highway construction site on Interstate 10 eastbound and McDuff Avenue. According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the officer was at fault. According to the Sheriff’s Office, he was working off-duty for a highway construction firm when he moved his vehicle into an open lane of traffic. A lady travelling east on I-10 in a Toyota Corolla failed to notice the officer and collided with his vehicle. The cop and the construction workers were attempting to block the highway’s middle lane. The officer, however, went ahead of the construction vehicle without first clearing traffic, according to the Sheriff’s Office. The woman was seriously injured, whereas the cop was only slightly hurt. When they see police cars and other emergency vehicles on the side of the road, Florida drivers should be aware of them and follow the state’s Move Over Law, according to Florida Highway Patrol Master Sgt. Dylan Bryan. While Bryan could not comment on the collisions involving Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office cruisers this week, he does remind drivers that the legislation now also applies when they see road and bridge repair or construction vehicles with warning lights on.

3 People Were Killed in Collisions on I-95 in Florida Amid Fog and Smoke

Published on: March 8, 2022 | By The Law Office of Ruth E. Johnson, P.A.

On Thursday, March 3, 2022, around 1:30 a.m., officials reported three individuals were killed in a sequence of incidents involving 17 cars on a section of Interstate 95 in Florida in which visibility was extremely low due to fog and smoke from vegetation-controlled burns. According to Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Kim Montes, the collisions began south of Daytona Beach. She stated there were four distinct incidents on the northbound side involving 11 automobiles, and one crash on the southbound side involving six vehicles. A traffic camera filmed a tractor trailer that was engulfed in flames and exploded, sending flames and smoke aloft. An automobile was crushed beneath the front of a tractor trailer, according to other footage from the area. Interstate 95, which runs from South Florida to Maine, is the principal north-south highway route along the United States’ East Coast. The smoke from nearby controlled burns lingered, and the National Weather Service had issued a dense fog alert for coastal Volusia County near Edgewater, warning of extremely limited visibility on Twitter. Such situations can be disconcerting for drivers going at motorway speeds on the freeway. According to Montes, two of the dead were driving south, while the third perished in a northbound accident. Multiple people were brought to a Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach, and a youngster who was evacuated to Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children was in stable condition.

A Car Crashed into Outdoor Restaurant in Miami

Published on: March 2, 2022 | By The Law Office of Ruth E. Johnson, P.A.

On Friday, February 25, 2022, around 6:00 p.m., according to the Miami Beach Police Department, an elderly woman driving a Bentley attempted to parallel park at 22 Washington Ave. but instead rushed her car into the outdoor café area of a restaurant. According to local police, the lady impacted “multiple tables” in the incident, killing one person and injuring six others. The location belongs to Call Me Gaby, an Italian restaurant. Accidents happen every day, and we are constantly hearing about them from all around the world. Sadly, we never know if we will make it home safely when we leave the house. One of these horrific catastrophes occurred recently in a Miami restaurant. The lady, whose name has not been revealed by investigators, “didn’t stop and continued running,” according to witnesses. As a result, her automobile collided into the restaurant’s patio, where numerous people were eating. The woman slammed into many tables, resulting in the transport of seven individuals to the hospital. Tragically, one of the patients that was transferred died at the hospital. Though authorities did not name the victims, one of the victims was said to be a 3-year-old boy who sustained minor scratches and bruises. So yet, it is uncertain whether criminal charges have been made against the woman, who stayed at the site the entire time. The driver of the automobile stated that she had no intention of hurting anyone.
