Miami Dade Police are investigating a fatal crash in the Gladeview area of Miami Dade early Sunday.

Detectives say two cars crashed shortly after 2:00 a.m. near 22nd Avenue and Northwest 79th Street, leaving one man dead.

Kenneth Lumbi says he witnessed the crash while he was at a nearby laundromat.

“I hear this lady screaming and I run over there with a buddy of mine, and as soon as we get there we see what happened, and we see this guy's lifeless body on the floor,” said Lumbi.

Lumbi said he rushed to help the victims, and first responders could be seen bandaging someone’s head and taking another person into an ambulance.

Lumbi said he saw one of the cars speeding before the crash, meanwhile Miami-Dade Police are still investigating the cause.

“That was somebody’s father, that could have been someone’s grandparent,” Lumbi said.

Miami-Dade Police closed off the intersection for the investigation, where pieces of glass and debris covered the pavement.

Police said two other people, a man and a woman, were taken to a nearby hospital.

If anyone has information, they are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
