Three airlifted after head-on ****** on Seven Mile Bridge in Florida Keys, sheriff says

Three people were airlifted to a mainland hospital Monday afternoon after a head-on ****** on the Seven Mile Bridge in the Florida Keys, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office and Florida Highway Patrol.

The ****** between a GMC Denali pickup and a BMW SUV happened around 2 p.m. on the iconic span that connects the Middle Keys city of Marathon with Little Duck Key in the Lower Keys, Sheriff Rick Ramsay told the Miami Herald.

Florida Highway Patrol Master Sgt. Pedro Reinoso said the driver of the Denali was heading south and “for unknown reasons” turned into the northbound lane and struck the BMW.

Firefighters had to extricate two people from the BMW. They were taken by ambulance off the bridge to Monroe County’s Trauma Star helicopter ambulance, which flew the people to Jackson South Medical Center, said Ramsay.

A badly damaged GMC Denali pickup truck is parked on the side of the Seven Mile Bridge in the Florida Keys following a head-on ****** with a BMW SUV Monday afternoon, March 3, 2025. Two people in the BMW were flown to Jackson South Medical Center, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.

The man driving the Denali was also airlifted to the mainland, Reinoso said, adding the driver is a local from Monroe County, whereas the man and woman in the BMW are from Maryland.

Traffic on the Seven Mile Bridge was closed in both directions until around 4 p.m., the sheriff said.

The ****** is under investigation by the FHP, and alcohol does not appear to be a factor, Reinoso said.

This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
