1 taken to hospital after SUV slams into liquor store across from FIU’s main campus
A driver ended up in the hospital after losing control of her SUV, hitting a parked car and then crashing into a liquor store across from Florida International University’s main campus Tuesday, according to Miami-Dade police.
The white SUV crashed into the store around 12:40 p.m. Tuesday inside the University Center North shopping plaza on Southwest 107th Avenue, according to Miami-Dade police. The Publix-anchored plaza is across from the university.
“The SUV was totally inside the retail establishment,” said Lee Cowart, a spokesman for Miami-Dade police.
Video recorded by Local 10 shows the SUV being removed by a tow truck shortly after 2 p.m. Through the shattered glass window, mangled metal, broken furniture and destroyed liquor displays could be seen.
Police said no one was injured.
The driver, who was not identified by police, was taken to a nearby hospital, but her condition was not known, according to police. There was also a juvenile female in the car, but she was not injured.
It was not immediately clear what caused the crash, police said. Police are investigating.
