The Miami Herald reported that a Miami woman was killed Friday morning in a head-on collision between a van and a BMW in the southbound lanes of Interstate 95 near Commercial Boulevard, the Florida Highway Patrol said. Four others were seriously injured in the crash, which led authorities to close the highway just north of Commercial Boulevard during the peak morning hours as they conducted an investigation. The roadway has since opened, said FHP spokesman Sgt. Mark Wysocky.

The woman who died was identified as 23-year-old Aracely Mendoza. Wysocky said details are still sketchy, but it appears the crash happened about 4:18 a.m.''We're still trying to determine what happened, whether someone was driving the wrong way or whether someone had spun out and then was facing the wrong way,'' he said.According to Wysocky, a man driving the BMW was taken to Broward General Medical Center in serious condition. Three other women in the van were taken to the same hospital, one in critical condition and two in serious condition.
