One person was rushed to the hospital after a rollover crash on Friday morning.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said paramedics responded just before 7 a.m. to the scene near NW 183rd Street and Interstate 95, where video showed a downed palm tree and the car on its side.

One person was trapped inside the car, and firefighters had to use special tools to extract the victim, authorities said.

The victim was taken to North Trauma Center, but their condition is not known.

It was not immediately clear what caused the crash, but only one vehicle appeared to be involved.

Aerial footage shows how the car with air bags deployed and its front crushed.

Chris Bosh was ahead of his time with the Miami Heat.

He was one of the first power forwards to act as a true threat from the outside, especially when Heat coach Erik Spoelstra moved him to center. His opponents took notice, including superstar forward Paul George. The former Indiana Pacer and the Heat had numerous battles deep in the playoffs, where Bosh thrived against their true frontcourt.

George took notice of this, crediting Bosh for revolutionizing the league on a recent episode of his podcast.

“When we played Miami and they put Chris Bosh at the five, I think that’s when the league literally changed,” George said. “Cause we were one of the last teams to be two bigs, real bigs. David West and Roy Hibbert [were] not three-point shooters, mid-range shooters. Defensively, Miami struggled against that until they moved Chris Bosh to the five and played four wings, and then that was how you beat the Pacers. That was the blueprint to beat the Pacers at that time.”

While Bosh never knocked down a high percentage from three-point range, the shots fell when it mattered most. Now, teams without an outside threat big man stand little chance of winning a championship.

“And then now that’s what you look for, you want a shooting big,” George shared. “There is no four man, no more, like the four man is a guard, a wing now, like we take a lot of credit, that Indiana Pacers team, takes a lot of credit for how the game is.”

Spoelstra is also deserving of credit for this change in the NBA, taking notice of Bosh’s ability to outshine the Pacers’ big men from the arc.

MIAMI (WSVN) – A South Florida family sprang into action to save a heron that was tangled up in trouble.

Speaking with 7News on Thursday, Miami Beach resident Suzanne Wilkinson said she found a white heron in distress in her backyard.

“And I heard this screaming, strange noise, right here, right outside this sliding glass door, really kind of screaming for help,” she said.

After getting a closer look, Wilkinson said, she saw the heron was tangled up with a fishing line, which was still hooked to a fish, and the hook was in the bird’s wing.

“Struggling, all wrapped up in fishing line,” she said.

Wilkinson said she panicked after seeing how badly injured the bird was.

“I didn’t know what to think, and I just called for Morgan,” she said.

Wilkinson’s son, Morgan Wilkinson-Leon, said he was calm and collected since he knew what to do next.

“I just looked up what to do if you find an injured animal in your yard,” he said.

Wilkinson-Leon called the Pelican Harbor Seabird Station in Miami. While they waited for their arrival, his father went into action.

“My dad had gotten home and had been able to free the bird of the line on his wing,” said Wilkinson-Leon.

“He was so injured that he just kind of jumped over onto the boat and was sitting and staring there,” said Wilkinson.

Amanda Burke, a wildlife rehabilitator at Pelican Harbor Seabird Station, later arrived at the home and was able to grab the heron.

“The herons have these really, really sharp beaks that they always trying to jab you right in the eye,” said Burker, “I was able to contain him with a towel and get him back up to the dock and take him into the station.”

The heron underwent surgery during which veterinarians closed up the hole left by the hook.

“We like to call [the heron] Spicy. He is really active and a fighter,” said Burke.

As for Spicy, he has some stitches but is recovering in the station’s outdoor enclosures.

The family who rescued him is rooting for Spicy to make a full recovery.

“I hope that he can come out here and just be able to fly off and go back to wherever he originally was,” said Wilkinson-Leon.
