MIAMI – One person died in a crash in Miami Gardens overnight involving a Publix truck.

It happened at NW 183 Street and NW Miami Court, next to a Publix distribution center.

Apparently the Publix truck was leaving the distribution center and attempting to cross Miami Gardens Drive when it was struck by a pickup truck traveling east. The force of the impact caused the pickup truck to get stuck under the Publix tractor-trailer.

A tow truck lifted the Publix truck high enough for a second tow truck to pull the pickup truck out from underneath.

The driver of the pickup truck did not survive.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
