Overloaded SUV Blows Tire, Flips On Florida Turnpike

Authorities say an overloaded SUV carrying 12 relatives crashed over the weekend on Florida’s Turnpike, claiming three lives.
Sgt. Mark Wysocky with the Florida Highway Patrol says a blown tired caused the 2006 Ford Expedition to overturn Saturday in Martin County, on central Florida’s Atlantic Coast. Troopers say all 12 occupants were relatives from Apopka and a police report indicated half of them weren’t wearing seat belts. Authorities say 38-year-old Uriel Miranda died at the scene and 2-year-old Yaretsi Miranda died Saturday evening at a hospital.
