Dash Cam Video Captures Collision
Video shared with Local News was recorded by 17-year-old Humzah Khan, a Mast Academy student, while he was stopped on the eastbound lanes of Biscayne Drive at Old Dixie Highway. The footage was captured on a Red Tiger Dash Cam, according to his father, Taimur Khan.
“I gave him this camera as a precaution,” Taimur Khan told Local 10.
Local 10 reported that the video shows a red vehicle traveling southbound on Old Dixie Highway and a black tow truck traveling westbound on Biscayne Drive before the two vehicles collided. According to the station’s report, the force of the crash propelled the red vehicle airborne.
