Man killed, 2 injured in multi-vehicle crash near Shenandoah Park, Miami police say
A man was killed and two others were injured Tuesday evening in a three-vehicle crash near Shenandoah Park, according to the Miami Police Department.
"That's horrible, it's nothing that you really want to see in your neighborhood," Marcos Mere, who lives in the area, said.
According to investigators, a driver struck a man out jogging, an unoccupied car and an ice cream truck with a woman inside at the intersection of SW 21 Avenue and SW 19 Street shortly before 7 p.m. Police have identified the driver as 36-year-old Andres Fialloestupinan.
"I heard a loud 'boom'. It sounded like an accident, so I came out, barefoot and everything. So, I strolled down to the park and that's when I encountered a deceased person," Mere said. "He flew from the impact, flew, severed his leg and he landed where I saw him."
Neighbors said Fialloestupinan was driving erratically right before the fatal crash.
"He was involved in another accident and fled that accident and he was fleeing through the streets," Mere said.
Residents said after the deadly crash, Fialloestupinan tried to walk away.
"He went inside the park and a bunch of people tackled him down and they held him, I don't know, until the police came," Mere said.
The identity of the man who was killed has not yet been released, but a source said he was a husband and father of two.
Fialloestupinan and the woman from the ice cream truck were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital for treatment.
Fialloestupinan is charged with leaving the scene of an accident involving death and leaving the scene of an accident involving serious bodily injury.
