Pedestrian struck and killed by multiple vehicles

NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) -- A pedestrian has died after being involved in a multiple vehicle accident.

The incident occurred Sunday at 9 p.m., near Northwest 62nd Street and 22nd Avenue. According to Miami-Dade Police, a white mini-van was crossing the intersection when it simultaneously hit another car and a pedestrian, knocking the pedestrian into the path of an oncoming Miami-Dade County Transit bus. The victim died on the scene.

Luis Areaon Garcia said the driver of the white mini van was speeding and rear-ended him before it came to a crashing halt. "I was waiting for the red light at the intersection, and I felt a hit from behind, in the back of the car, and when I felt the hit another car passes me by the side at an extreme speed," he said in translation. "When I felt the crash, I took off my seat belt, I got down, and when I look at the corner, I saw when he hit the bus and stuff. I didn't know there was a person dead, and then I saw the dead person."
