SUV Drivers Runs Over Pedestrians – Conductor Atropella Peantones
SUV DRIVER INDENTIFIED AND CHARGED
A man named George Alvarez, aged 34, has been identified as the driver suspected of driving an SUV into a group of pedestrians waiting at a bus stop outside a migrant center in Brownsville, Texas on Sunday. The incident killed eight people and injured nearly a dozen others. Alvarez, who has a criminal record, has been charged with eight counts of manslaughter and 10 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was previously charged with reckless driving. The incident occurred when Alvarez ran a red light and lost control of the SUV, which then hit the pedestrians. It is still unclear whether the incident was intentional. Alvarez allegedly tried to flee but was prevented by bystanders. The victims were all male migrants from Venezuela. Alvarez’s bond totals $3.6 million and officials are waiting for toxicology reports to determine if he was intoxicated. Recently, many migrants from Venezuela have been arriving in Brownsville, but it is unclear why. As of Thursday, out of the 6,000 migrants in Border Patrol custody in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, 4,000 were from Venezuela.

Stay off your Cellphone while DRIVING!
The Perazzo Law Firm in Miami and North Miami Beach provides helpful advice to those involved in car accidents caused by distracted driving due to cell phone use. Unfortunately, many drivers cannot resist the urge to use their cell phones while driving, whether it is to text, make calls, or listen to messages. This behavior is a significant problem in Florida, where it is the second leading cause of accidents. Although it is considered a moving violation, it is only a secondary offense that can result in a citation after being pulled over for a primary violation. Despite this, the number of accidents caused by distracted driving continues to rise in Miami, resulting in severe injuries. The attorneys at the Perazzo Law Firm specialize in representing individuals who have been injured due to negligent cell phone use while driving.
Statistics show that over 1.6 million drivers are involved in accidents every year because of cell phone use while driving, with texting being the primary culprit, leading to approximately 400,000 accidents annually. Texting and driving is one of the leading causes of accidents on American roads, and Miami is no exception. When a driver reads or writes a text message, they take their eyes off the road for an average of five seconds, which is a significant distance when driving at high speeds. Drunk driving while texting is also a major concern, particularly among young drivers who rely heavily on their cell phones to stay in touch with friends. According to the National Safety Council, teen drivers’ chances of getting into an accident increase by 500% when they have friends in the car and are using their cell phones. Shockingly, 10% of all fatal accidents involve distracted cell phone use. Miami’s official reports indicate that approximately 700,000 drivers use electronic devices, including cell phones, headsets, and iPads, while driving every day.
If you become a victim of a car accident in Miami because of a driver’s negligence caused by cellphone use, the driver may deny being on their phone during the accident. Depending on the severity of the injuries, police may take the driver’s phone as evidence. In such cases, the injured party may present a Spoliation Letter to preserve the phone and its contents for trial proceedings. It is advised to seek medical attention immediately and keep records of all treatments received to seek compensation for personal injury or losses. The Perazzo Law Firm suggests purchasing and installing a dash-camera to help prove liability and fault in future accidents. The attorneys at Perazzo Law Firm in North Miami Beach represent victims of car accidents caused by negligent cellphone use while driving.

Pedestrian Accidents in Miami
Miami has unfortunately been the site of numerous pedestrian accidents in recent years. With a bustling city center, a high volume of traffic, and a large population, Miami presents a challenging environment for pedestrians to navigate safely.
According to data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there were 9,420 pedestrian accidents in Miami-Dade County from 2016 to 2020. Of these, 741 were fatal, making Miami one of the deadliest cities for pedestrians in the United States.
There are many factors that contribute to pedestrian accidents in Miami. One major issue is the lack of adequate infrastructure for pedestrians, such as sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike lanes. Additionally, speeding, distracted driving, and driving under the influence are all common causes of pedestrian accidents in the city.
Train Strikes Pedestrian in Aventura
The Aventura Police Department has released a traffic alert in response to a pedestrian being hit by a Brightline train near Biscayne Boulevard. This has caused a part of the road to be closed, affecting the southbound lanes of Biscayne Boulevard from 199th Street to 195th Street. The collision has created a significant traffic hazard, leading law enforcement officials to reduce the southbound lanes to one lane.
Motorists are advised to use alternative routes until the situation is resolved. The cause of the accident has not yet been disclosed by authorities, and an investigation is currently ongoing. News provided by 7 News Miami.

I-95 Pedestrian Accident
Ramps closed after pedestrian is struck by truck on I95.
A man was hit by a big rig on I-95 in Miami on Tuesday morning, according to the City of Miami Fire Department. The incident resulted in the closure of the entrance ramp from 79th Street and three southbound lanes on the highway, with emergency vehicles blocking the area. At the scene, an 18-wheeler truck was seen stopped with two men talking to authorities on the shoulder. Florida Highway Patrol troopers also assisted in blocking off the entrance ramp. The pedestrian, who appeared to have been walking onto the highway and crossing the lanes, was not in a vehicle at the time of the incident. A witness reported seeing the man fall to the ground and an officer performing CPR. Street cameras indicated that only one lane was open along with the express lanes, causing drivers to be redirected onto Northwest Sixth Court in the area and to turn around to head back onto 79th Street.
