Lamborghini crash closes lanes on MacArthur Causeway from Miami Beach to Miami

Three people in a Lamborghini SUV were taken to the hospital following a crash early Tuesday morning that shut down a stretch of the MacArthur Causeway from Miami Beach to Miami.

The crash happened at Parrot Jungle Trail near the Jungle Island theme park just before Tuesday’s morning rush hour began. It closed all westbound lanes on the causeway. As of 9 a.m., one lane has reopened.

The driver of the Lamborghini SUV lost control and collided with a white Toyota sedan before hitting a metal digital traffic sign, according to the Florida Highway Patrol, which is handling the investigation. Miami Herald news partner CBS Miami said the SUV flipped.

The three people inside the Lamborghini were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center in Miami, troopers said. One of them has life-threatening injuries. The Toyota driver wasn’t injured.

Drivers should expect delays and take other routes, including the Venetian Causeway and the Julia Tuttle Causeway.

This bulletin will be updated.
