An adult man and woman were killed on Sunday afternoon after being struck by a pickup truck on the Rickenbacker Causeway Bridge, which links Miami and Key Biscayne.
"All traffic has been closed," the Miami Fire Department said on its Twitter account around 5:20 p.m. An hour later, they partially reopened the road, according to Univision.
A video posted on Instagram by the account @onlyindade shows the bodies of the victims covered with a white tarp. In addition, the bicycles on which the two people were riding can be seen.
The alleged vehicle involved, a blue Jeep Grand Cherokee, is seen on the side of the road with apparent damage to its front end.
Witnesses claimed that some people tried to help the two injured individuals, but when they arrived, they no longer had signs of life.
Miami police reported the arrest of one person for questioning in connection with the accident.
The case remains under investigation. The two victims have not been identified.
