Deputy hospitalized and suspect who crashed while fleeing in custody, MDSO says

A deputy was hospitalized after a suspect who fled a traffic stop crashed in southwest Miami-Dade Thursday afternoon, authorities said.

The incident happened in the area of Southwest 224th Street and Southwest 115th Avenue in Goulds.

Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office officials said deputies were trying to stop the vehicle but the suspect attempted to flee, ran a stop sign, and crashed into a sheriff’s office vehicle.

The suspect was taken into custody. Officials haven’t released their identity or said what charges they face.

The deputy was taken to a local hospital as a precaution, officials said.

Aerial footage from Chopper 6 showed a vehicle that crashed through a fence flipped onto its roof in a home’s backyard.

Another vehicle was also nearby with heavy damage.

No other details were immediately known.
