Police released the name of a man who was killed in an accident involving two tractor trailers on the Palmetto Expressway earlier this month. Carlos Perez was driving northbound on the Palmetto Expressway when he came upon an accident involving a tractor trailor and a Toyota truck, the driver of which was also injured.

Perez crashed into the stopped truck and was hit from behind by a second tractor-trailer, causing his car to buirst into flames. There was little left of his crashed vehicle after it was sandwiched between the trucks, as shown in this picture provided by Miami Local News 10. Perez was pronounced dead at the scene. It is not clear if excessive speed under the conditions was a factor in the pile-up, but no charges were reported in the original story.
