Woman "Critical" After Krome Ave. Crash

SW MIAMI-DADE (CBS4) - An elderly woman was airlifted to the Ryder Trauma Center after she crashed her vehicle off Krome Avenue in southwest Miami-Dade.

The 75-year old woman was heading north on SW 177th Avenue (Krome Avenue) Sunday morning when she lost control of her car just north of Kendall Drive. The vehicle veered off the roadway onto the shoulder and then into the dense shrubbery and young trees.

When Miami-Dade Fire Rescue arrived they found her trapped in her vehicle. They quickly got her out and transferred her to a waiting air rescue chopper which flew the critically injured woman to Jackson Memorial Hospital.
