Police are investigating a rollover crash involving two vehicles that left one person dead and another critically injured in North Miami Thursday.

The crash happened in the area of Northwest 7th Avenue and 122nd Street.

Aerial footage from Chopper 6 showed what appeared to be two silver SUVs completely flipped over at the scene.

North Miami Police officials said one person was killed and another was hospitalized in critical condition.

No other information was immediately available.

Judy Phillip said she was walking when she saw both SUVs collide and several people ran over to try and help the people inside.

“It flipped,” Phillip said. “The guy hit the window, his hand was all messed up and bloody, and they took the lady out.”

In a surveillance video from a business at the intersection, one of the SUVs involved starts going off the road and onto the sidewalk area before crashing into the other.

Blade Benjamin, who owns Pregame Pizza Bar across the street, was working when he heard a noise. He came outside and saw people running over.

“I didn't think to go across the street to see if there's anyone else in the other car,” Benjamin said. “That's a sad situation someone losing their life.”
