A Mercedes driver who almost hit a Miami-Dade police officer near Key Biscayne Wednesday afternoon raced up Interstate 95 and into the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Tri-Rail parking garage, police say.

No one was injured.

According to Miami-Dade police, the driver of a speeding white Mercedes just missed hitting a Miami-Dade motorcycle cop and the Miami-Dade police helicopter in the area heard the radio transmission of the near miss. So, the helicopter found the Mercedes driver and followed as the car slalomed through traffic up northbound I-95.

The Mercedes exited at Griffin Road, took a left under the highway and entered the multi-level parking garage. News helicopters hovered and cruisers from multiple law enforcement agencies surrounded the garage, which is actually in Dania Beach, at 500 Gulf Stream Way.

This developing story will be updated.
