No picture of the driver tells me all I need to know. Second time this year someone who clearly didn't belong behind the wheel was driving heavy equipment in Miami. Affirmative Action, ain't it grand? UPDATE: https://youtu.be/A_IfMKt4w60 A City of Miami dump truck slammed into the rear of a taxicab Friday afternoon, killing the female passenger and setting off a chain reaction that sent seven other people to nearby Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami police said. Four of the hospitalized — the dump truck driver, taxi driver and two passengers of one car — were in serious condition, according to police. The crash was captured on video from the Bowl Bar liquor store and club on the southwest corner of Northwest Seventh Street and 17th Avenue. Eight cars, the dump truck, a ContinueCare/MetCare transport bus, a scooter and a light pole were spread in varying degrees of disintegration around the intersection of Northwest Seventh Street and 17th Avenue, a block from Marlins Park. Each vehicle bore a painted-on number as traffic homicide investigators pieced together the crash. Area residents and workers say they hear sudden braking so often that they regularly marvel to each other that they don’t see more accidents. Friday’s crash brought no introductory screech of brakes, just instant noise, then near silence during several hours of cleanup. “Like a bomb. Like a big bomb,” said Frank Gonzalez, who was working at the Valero gas station car wash on the intersection’s northwest corner. Eunice Diaz, director of The Candy House Day Care Center one block away, said through an interpreter that the crash sounded like when the Orange Bowl came down, “a BOOM.” The day care center’s adults ran to the windows to see what had happened while nap time continued for the children. Miami police officer Kenia Fallat said the taxicab burst into flames at one point. The taxicab passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. Her name was being withheld until detectives notified next of kin. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local...

As a taxi driver, my heart goes out to the driver and the woman's family. I can't even imagine processing an injury or death of a passenger in my car.

why was her body still in there when the car got towed?

Why was the body of that old woman still on the taxi when it was on the wrecker? Why didn't they take it out first and give it to the corner

0:56 thank you god for killing the lady and not me!
-
That is so fucked up, and had to kill the nice old lady -_- such BS.
-
just goes to show how dangerous public transport can be.... jokes aside, it's sad for the lady and her family, and a risk in all our cities everyday....somebody somewhere will get hurt or worse through either driver error, distraction, or vehicle malfunction... virtually all of them preventable.

I don't visit Miami anymore. Way too dangerous.

WOW!! How come the city of Miami has suppressed information of the driver of the truck?Was he legal to work here? Was he sober? Was he incapacitated? Was he qualified to operate this vehicle? 1person was killed. 10 were injured. Where is the rest of the story?

I did hear from a reliable source that the dump truck driver was distracted because he was scratching his balls. It was humid out, and he had a bad case of swamp balls and his balls were sticking to his thighs. He did suffer an injury to his balls because his fingernails were not trimmed in a couple weeks.
