DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. — Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives arrested a 45-year-old man who is accused of being involved in a hit-and-run crash that injured a baby, a man, and a woman in Deerfield Beach.

Deputies said Eric Meyer was driving a 2013 Jeep Wrangler when he struck the back of a gray 2016 Toyota Camry about 12:40 a.m. Both vehicles were traveling eastbound on Southwest 10th Street near South Dixie Highway, deputies said.

A Good Samaritan chased after Meyer, but changed his mind, backed up, and turned around to park at the crash scene to help the injured victims in the Toyota.

Surveillance video shows BSO deputies arriving at the scene five minutes later. The crash damaged a black Bentley at Domani Motor Cars.

Fire Rescue personnel took the adult victims to Broward Health North in Deerfield Beach and the baby to Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale.
