A multi-vehicle crash involving a police patrol car shut down all southbound lanes of the Don Shula Expressway at Southwest 88th Street and Kendall Drive in Miami during Wednesday's morning rush hour, causing significant delays and forcing drivers to exit and re-enter the expressway via alternate ramps. The Florida Highway Patrol responded to the incident early Wednesday, though details about other vehicles involved or injuries remain unclear. Separately, a deadly motorcycle crash on Tuesday morning closed all southbound lanes of the Bishop Ford Freeway near Sibley Boulevard in Illinois. The motorcycle collided with a vehicle, resulting in the motorcyclist's death at the scene; traffic was diverted to Dolton Avenue, with police advising commuters to avoid the area.
