A driver was killed and three other people were hospitalized after a head-on crash on Krome Avenue in southwest Miami-Dade that led to a section of the roadway being closed Thursday morning.

Florida Highway Patrol officials said a Nissan SUV was traveling south on Krome when it veered into the northbound lanes, colliding head-on into a Toyota SUV.
