A landscaping truck lost control, crashed through a bus stop and crossed a sidewalk before slamming into storefronts along 125th Street in North Miami, scattering glass, metal and pieces of the bus stop across the roadway. The truck struck A-Z Formalwear in the chaotic crash, leaving the business to assess the damage even as it kept its doors open for customers.
Driver Says Steering and Brakes Failed
Driver Says Steering and Brakes Failed Property manager John Delgado told WSVN that the truck driver said he lost control of the steering and brakes and tried to avoid hitting anybody before running into the building. The driver was cited for reckless driving, per the station's report, and the truck was towed away after the crash. John Delgado, a property manager at the scene, said nobody being seriously hurt or hit by the truck was a miracle.
A-Z Formalwear was still operating as usual despite the crash damage, according to the same account. 7SkyForce footage captured a cleanup effort underway by public works officials as crews worked to clear the wreckage from the sidewalk and street.
Conflicting Reports on Injuries
Accounts of whether anyone was hurt in the crash differ. WSVN's initial report stated no injuries were reported, but a separate report from the outlet said at least one person was rushed to the hospital after a driver crashed into a bus stop in North Miami, with that person's condition unknown as of late Tuesday night. That report also placed the crash near Northeast Sixth Avenue and 135th Street, where North Miami Police and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded Tuesday evening, and described the bus stop there as left badly damaged, with a private ambulance transporting the patient. It remains unclear what caused that driver to lose control, the outlet noted.
Separately, Local 10 reported that a landscaping truck crash in North Miami injured two people after striking a bus bench, a tree and a building. It is not confirmed whether this matches the same incident described by WSVN.
Part of a Broader Pattern on Florida Roads
Crashes involving vehicles and roadside infrastructure are not isolated to North Miami. In February, a multi-vehicle crash at a bus stop in northwest Miami-Dade killed one person and injured eight others, according to NBC 6 South Florida. Statewide, Florida logged 12,760 pedestrian-related crashes in 2025, marking a fifth consecutive annual increase even as fatalities and severe injuries from such crashes continued to decline for a third straight year, per the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
Miami-Dade County also maintains a live traffic-accident data portal through the Miami-Dade Police Department, offering residents a window into ongoing crash activity across the county. Landscaping and commercial trucks have factored into other serious crashes elsewhere too; in June, a tree service and landscaping truck drove off a bridge in New Castle County, Delaware, hospitalizing the driver, according to CBS Philadelphia. The cause behind the North Miami driver's loss of control remains unresolved, and it is unclear whether the conflicting injury reports describe the same crash.
