MIAMI (CBSMiami) -  Lanes on the Julia Tuttle Causeway (I-195) were closed off to traffic during the Wednesday morning rush as police investigating a deadly accident.

The lanes have since been reopened.

Florida Highway Patrol said a Porsche Panamera and Honda Civic were on I-195, just before US-1/Biscayne Boulevard, when the Civic slammed into a guardrail, spun out and hit the Porsche.

The drivers from the two cars, a man and a woman, got out after the crash only to be struck by a Hyundai SUV just after 5 a.m., troopers said.

The woman who had been driving the Civic died. The man who was a passenger in the Porsche was airlifted to Mount Sinai Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the Porsche was also checked out.

Troopers said the Hyundai stayed at the scene following the crash.

Police have not released the name of the woman who died.

Florida Highway Patrol said the incident is also a lesson to those who are ever involved in an accident.  They ask anyone involved in a crash to not stand out in the moving lanes of traffic.
