Construction worker dies after fall from I-395 overpass in Miami

A construction worker died early Monday morning after falling from the Interstate 395 overpass in Miami, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Authorities said the incident occurred at approximately 3:56 a.m., when the worker fell about 20 feet from the overpass onto Biscayne Boulevard below. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Details surrounding the circumstances of the fall remain unclear, and officials have not yet released the victim’s identity or age.

The incident prompted the temporary closure of at least one lane on I-395, which has since been reopened.

The Florida Highway Patrol said the investigation remains active and is expected to be led by the National Transportation Safety Board.

No further information has been provided.
