Five people under the age of 25 were killed in a car crash early Saturday morning in Miami-Dade County, Florida, officials say.
A driver traveling the wrong way collided with another car head-on, according to Florida Highway Patrol Lieutenant Alex Camacho.
At approximately 4:30 a.m., a silver Infinity sedan traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes hit a gray Honda sedan, Camacho told CNN in an email.
There were four women and a man between the ages of 18 to 25 in the Honda, according to Camacho.
“All 5 died on scene as a result of the collision,” he said. “The wrong way driver [adult male] was airlifted to Ryder Trauma with serious injuries.”
The names of the victims who died in the crash will not be immediately released, said Camacho, as “this is now a criminal investigation.”
The westbound lanes of State Road 826, where the crash occurred, were shut down for around seven hours, according to Camacho.
