A fatal traffic incident occurred early Wednesday morning on northbound Interstate 95 near downtown Miami, resulting in the death of a pedestrian and significant road closures. The crash, which took place around 6:15 a.m., initially blocked three right lanes and later led to the complete closure of I-95 Northbound into downtown from S. Dixie Hwy for a fatal crash investigation. The lanes were reopened by 8:13 a.m., although two right lanes remained closed for ongoing investigations by Florida Highway Patrol and Miami Police Department. Traffic was heavily affected in the area, with local authorities recommending alternative routes such as S. Dixie Hwy, Brickell Ave, and SW 27th Ave.
