A pedestrian remains in critical condition Sunday after two-car crash involving a Miami police officer shut down multiple streets for hours the night before.

Around 6:30 p..m., the officer was in his cruiser heading east on Northwest Seventh Street when a westbround driver turned left at the intersection of Northwest Seventh Street and 47th Avenue, according to Miami Police Officer Kiara Delva. Video from Herald news partner CBSMiami showed a dark Toyota with left front end damage and a Miami police cruiser damaged on the driver’s side.

Two women walking down Northwest Seventh Street were hit by either the cars or the copious debris. Delva told CBSMiami that the officer and one woman were hospitalized in stable condition and another was in critical condition. The driver of the Toyota wasn’t hurt.

Into Sunday’s wee hours, Northwest Seventh Street remained closed from Northwest 43rd Avenue to 51st Avenue and Northwest 47th Avenue remained closed from Sixth to 11th Street.
