NORTH MIAMI, Fla. – Two people were hit by a car while sitting at a bus bench in North Miami Friday morning, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said.
The crash was reported about 9:40 a.m. in the area of Northeast 125th Street and 12th Avenue.
Witnesses said two men, who were inside the car and had ran a stop sign, fled from the scene on foot.
"I followed them as far as I could calling 911, but I lost them," Lori Agostini, who witnesses the crash said.
Sky 10 was above the scene as fire rescue removed the victims from in between the car and the bus bench, which was sitting against a tree.
One person was seen being airlifted to a nearby hospital. Witnesses said the woman was pinned underneath the car. The second person was taken by ambulance to Aventura Hospital.
Local 10 News reporter Jenise Fernandez said three women and a girl were sitting on the bench. An 11-year-old girl, identified as Chelsea Romain, and her grandmother were not injured.
"It was very scary. It's the scariest thing that's ever happened to me," Romain said. "It missed me and my grandma."
Romain's grandmother, however, was taken to a hospital due to high blood pressure and has since been released.
The extent of the victims' injuries were not immediately released.
