The wreck happened at a home in the 5800 block of Southwest 62nd Terrace, in an unincorporated area between South Miami and Coral Gables.

Deputies said they were pursuing the suspect, whose vehicle was suspicious, after reported burglaries in the area.

They said the driver was injured after the crash and taken to the hospital.

Authorities said while an original call about a home burglary in progress was unfounded, detectives did recover items stolen in a nearby vehicle burglary.

It isn’t known if the driver, who wasn’t publicly identified as of Wednesday afternoon, will be charged.
