Miami-Dade cops tried to arrest a suspect on the street — then came chaos and a crash

Two people were hospitalized after a police pursuit ended in a crash in Pinecrest on Wednesday night, according to Miami-Dade police.

The crash just after 7 p.m. in the area of Southwest 132nd Street and South Dixie Highway.

Miami-Dade police spokesman Angel Rodriguez said the events started with a narcotics investigation.

“The detectives were in the process of taking a suspect into custody when the individual intentionally rammed one of the officer’s vehicles and attempted to run over some of the detectives as he was trying to flee the scene,” he said.. “A pursuit ensued which ended at this intersection when the subject rear-ended a civilian vehicle and crashed into a marked police vehicle.”

Rodriguez said officers recover a firearm from the suspect’s vehicle.
