One person was taken to the hospital in critical condition after being struck by a train Saturday night in Miami, authorities said.
The collision occurred at Northwest First Avenue and 14th Street, according to Miami Police. Investigators are still working to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Local resident Andrae Nelson, who witnessed the aftermath in Overtown, said the crash was a tragic reminder of ongoing safety risks. “It’s very tragic to know that it continues to happen,” Nelson said. “It’s very sad because it’s not the first time something like that has happened.”
Saturday’s crash is the latest in a series of train-related incidents in South Florida. Data from the Federal Railroad Administration shows four crashes in Miami in 2025 so far, compared with 11 in 2024, resulting in no deaths and one injury. Saturday’s incident is not yet included in the federal data.
Nelson added a cautionary note to the public: “You have to be careful going across the tracks because it’s literally trains passing through every day…[It’s] shocking because a person should be aware that it’s a train track at the end of the day, so you have to be careful, but it’s sad though.”
