DORAL, Fla. -- A traffic sign flashing the message 'no Latinos, no tacos' caught the eyes of drivers headed northbound on the Palmetto Expressway Tuesday morning.

The sign at Northwest 25th Street was hacked sometime overnight.

Technicians tried to reset it, but every time they turned it back on, the words 'no latinos, no tacos' would continue to flash.

At around 6:30 a.m., and after several tries, the sign was turned off.

“Just like any other form of vandalism to the state highway system -- as soon as we learn about it, we correct it, just like graffiti,” said Brian Rick, a spokesman for the Florida Department of Transportation.

Rick told Local 10's Kellie Butler that they have yet to determine if someone tampered with the sign on site, or if it was accessed remotely by computer.

The Department of Transportation is working with police to figure out who is responsible.

"It's terrible. It really puts out a bad message out there, you know? It's a real bad message," said driver Henry Darly.
"It's an important place for the Hispanic people in this area, so I think they are looking for trouble," said Doral resident Juan Alvarez.

I think what they meant was if you get rid of all of the Latinos there will be no tacos to eat. So, its not such a bad message.
