Surveillance video captured the moment an armed carjacking suspect fleeing police crashed the stolen Corvette in Miami Gardens, authorities said.
It started when Miami police officers responded at around 1:20 a.m. to Northwest 5th Avenue and 30th Street. There, two victims told police that they were “approached by a male armed with a gun.”
The man took their vehicle, a newer model Corvette, authorities said.
Miami police said the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office found the car and detained the suspect at Northwest 42nd Avenue and 183rd Street—but not before the Corvette came to a crashing stop.
Video from outside a Shell gas station shows police lights in the distance before the Corvette comes speeding down the roadway, running into a pole and striking an SUV parked in an accessible parking spot and finally coming to rest against a fence.
Almost a dozen law enforcement units arrive at the scene, and officers scramble.
The video doesn’t show if the driver fled, or how officers caught him.
Later, authorities lead a handcuffed man away from the scene.
Miami police said no injuries were reported, and officers took custody of the subject after he was detained by the sheriff’s office.
