MIAMI — One person was arrested after a police chase ended in a violent crash in Miami.
It happened Wednesday at approximately 7:30 p.m. at the intersection of Northwest 22nd Avenue and 26th Street.
According to deputies, a unit with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Robbery Intervention Detail tried stopping a driver in the area of Northwest 56th Street and 27th Avenue for dark tints, but he sped away.
Shortly after, a crash involving three vehicles, including the one that fled from the RID unit, occurred, deputies said.
Home surveillance video obtained by Local 10 News Thursday shows the moments that the driver of a white Mercedes barreled into two vehicles at the busy intersection.
According to first responders, two of the vehicles were badly damaged and one SUV rolled over, which left several people trapped inside.
Authorities said crews with Miami Fire Rescue had to extricate four people from one vehicle who were then rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center in critical but stable condition.
Additional video from passing drivers showed good Samaritans trying to turn the SUV upright.
Detectives said they determined that the driver who took off caused the crash.
They later identified him as Jahnye Davis, 20, of Coral Springs.
Jail records show he is facing charges including leaving the scene of a crash causing serious bodily injury, fleeing and eluding and resisting arrest.
