Three beachgoers injured at Crandon Park when parks officer runs them over
UPDATE: Three sunbathers who were run over are indentified by police
A Miami-Dade County Parks and Recreation officer ran over three Crandon Park beachgoers with his county truck as they lay on the sand Friday evening, Miami-Dade police said.
The officer, whose name has not been released, was driving a Ford F-150 on the beach in Key Biscayne about 5:23 p.m. when he made a right turn and ran over the legs of two adults and a minor who were lounging in the sand, said Miami-Dade Police Detective Robin Pinkard. He told police he didn’t see the three people.
Pinkard said the driver had not been cited.
The victims — a man, a boy and a woman — sustained minor injuries. The woman was treated on the scene, and the two males were taken to a hospital.
