Three pedestrians killed in separate incidents in the Florida Keys, FHP says
Three pedestrians were killed in the Florida Keys in two separate car crashes late last week, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. On Friday, a 70-year-old man from North Carolina was walking on the sidewalk along the southbound lanes of U.S. 1 at mile marker 90 in Plantation Key around 8:40 p.m. when a Hyundai IONIQ drove off the highway and hit him, FHP Master Sgt. Pedro Reinoso said in a statement. The 46-year-old Florida man, who police had not named as of Sunday, stayed on scene, and a criminal investigation is pending, Reinoso said. The FHP has also not named the victim, who died after being taken to Mariners Hospital in Tavernier. The night before, around 8:05 p.m., a couple from Ohio was walking across U.S. 1 at mile marker 79 in Upper Matecumbe Key when they were struck by a Kia sedan driving south on the highway, Reinoso said. The 78-year-old woman died at the scene, and her 81-year-old husband died after paramedics took him to Jackson South Medical Center in Miami-Dade County, Reinoso said. Again, the FHP did not name the victims nor the driver as of Sunday. Reinoso said alcohol or drugs were not a factor in the crash.

Three airlifted after head-on crash on Seven Mile Bridge in Florida Keys, sheriff says
Three people were airlifted to a mainland hospital Monday afternoon after a head-on crash on the Seven Mile Bridge in the Florida Keys, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office and Florida Highway Patrol. The crash between a GMC Denali pickup and a BMW SUV happened around 2 p.m. on the iconic span that connects the Middle Keys city of Marathon with Little Duck Key in the Lower Keys, Sheriff Rick Ramsay told the Miami Herald. Florida Highway Patrol Master Sgt. Pedro Reinoso said the driver of the Denali was heading south and 'for unknown reasons' turned into the northbound lane and struck the BMW. Firefighters had to extricate two people from the BMW. They were taken by ambulance off the bridge to Monroe County's Trauma Star helicopter ambulance, which flew the people to Jackson South Medical Center, said Ramsay. The man driving the Denali was also airlifted to the mainland, Reinoso said, adding the driver is a local from Monroe County, whereas the man and woman in the BMW are from Maryland. Traffic on the Seven Mile Bridge was closed in both directions until around 4 p.m., the sheriff said. The crash is under investigation by the FHP, and alcohol does not appear to be a factor, Reinoso said. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
