A man and woman were killed in a single-car crash on a ramp to the Dolphin Expressway in Miami-Dade early Wednesday.

The crash took place just before 4 a.m. in the westbound lanes of the Expressway near Le Jeune Road.

Florida Highway Patrol officials said a white Mercedes was trying to enter the Expressway when it lost control on the curve and collided with a guardrail and two concrete barrier walls.

The driver, an adult male, was transported to Ryder Trauma Center where he later died. A female passenger died at the scene. The identities of both victims were not released.

Drivers were advised to avoid the roadway for much of the rush hour Wednesday morning as an investigation continues.
