The mother of an 8-year-old boy was critically injured when her vehicle was hit head-on by a  man that was drinking and driving the wrong way down a busy interstate highway, reports say.

The 29-year-old mom was airlifted to a local hospital by paramedics at the scene of the crash, according to the post. She was the mother of an 8-year-old son.

Police identified a 46-year-old as the driver of the wrong-way vehicle. He is charged with driving while intoxicated, Florida Highway Patrol officials said.

Authorities say the 46-year-old was driving a Nissan Armada eastbound in the westbound lanes of Interstate 95 in Palm Beach County.

The 46-year-old driver first sideswiped a vehicle, which caused it to spin and get hit by another vehicle. He then hit the woman’s vehicle head-on, which sent it into the path of a semi-trailer. The semi jack-knifed and hit the highway’s cement median.

The 46-year-old vehicle burst into flames after the crash. He survived and is in a hospital’s intensive care unit. It is a miracle the woman and her son also survived the crash, Florida Highway Patrol officials said.

Florida Highway Patrol is still investing the accident.

The Florida Highway Patrol has identified a 21-year-old Palm Beach Gardens man as the person hit by a car on Interstate 95 early and flown to St. Mary’s Medical Center in critical condition.

Isaac James, driving a 2007 Nissan Maxima, hit the back of a 56-year-old Port St. Lucie resident driving a  2007 Dodge Ram truck near mile marker 94 north of the Palm Beach County border, Florida Highway Patrol officials said.

The 56-year-old pulled his vehicle onto the shoulder of the highway while Isaac veered onto the other side of the road into the median.

Isaac got out of his car and tried to cross the roadway to speak with the 56-year-old, but was hit by an oncoming 2011 Honda CR-V driven by a 34-year-old man of Port St. Lucie.

Isaac remained in critical condition, Florida Highway Patrol officials said. It is unknown if he was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the crash, Florida Highway Patrol said.

The 56-year-old Port St. Lucie man and the 34-year-old driver were not under the influence of any substance.

The cause of the wreck remained under investigation, Florida Highway Patrol said.

A teenage driver with a learners permit has been critically injured and her dad who was her supervising driver is also critically injured after a two-vehicle crash in Palm Beach County.

Police say the 22-year-old was learning to drive a Suzuki Swift on Wellington Road, north of Palm Beach County, under the supervision of her 46-year-old father.

When they reached the intersection of Old Northern Road and Boca Raton Avenue, their car collided with a Ford Falcon forcing both cars off the road.

A chief inspector told reporters today that multiple emergency crews, including seven ambulance crews and a medical helicopter, rushed to the scene and rushed the victims to the hospital.

“The 46-year-old father, the 22-year old girl, and a passenger in the Swift, are currently at Delray Medical Center. They were all transported there in critical condition,” FHP said.

“The 38-year-old driver of the Falcon was not seriously injured, but he was taken to another hospital to undergo mandatory drug and alcohol testing.”

Old Northern Road was blocked in both directions after the incident and was expected to be closed for some time.

“It’s absolutely tragic when these things occur. All drivers should be aware to take care,” the chief inspector said.

Police said, a man was found dead in Delray Beach on Interstate 95 after he fell off a motorcycle and was run over by several cars.

The family of 35-year-old Vince Arnold said the young man was on a date with his ex-girlfriend. The pair went to a restaurant in Delray Beach and were heading back home when they claim he fell off of the back of the woman’s motorcycle after the motorcycle had struck a school bus in the middle of I-95 near Atlantic Boulevard.

Arnold was run over several times by the bus while he was in the road.

One of the drivers who stopped said he made contact with a man who was on a motorcycle near the scene.

“I opened the door, and I asked him, ‘Is that a person laying in the road?’” said the driver. “He said, ‘Yes. He’s dead.’”

However, FHP said the driver of the school bus, a 39-year old from Wellington, showed much remorse, and claimed he didn’t notice the motorcycle.

FHP is asking anyone with information to call Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers.

A pedestrian has been struck by a Freespace train in Boca Raton, Palm Beach County police officials said.

A person crossing the track south of Camino Real was struck by the northbound train, the Palm Beach County police department said. Police authorities and the Florida Highway Patrol officials said, the person was taken to Delray Medical Center with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening. Police said they were investigating why the person was trying to cross the track.

As of last fall, four people had been struck and killed by Freespace trains since the high speed rail company began passenger service along the Florida East Coast Railway tracks near the Intracoastal Waterway. In addition, one other person was hospitalized during Freespace’s testing.

Other crashes also have taken place along the FEC tracks and the Tri-Rail-Amtrak tracks to their west.

Freespace has said in the past that its safety and security team evaluates areas where accidental deaths and suicides have occurred. The rail line has started a public-awareness program to warn pedestrians to heed lights and crossing gates.

All Aboard Florida, which operates Freespace, is owned by an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC, a global investment management firm. Fortress Investment Group LLC is contracted to manage and advise New Media Investments Inc., which owns GateHouse Media, the parent company of The Palm Beach Post.
