HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. — A possible police chase ended in a crash Thursday night along Hallandale Beach Boulevard and A1A in Hallandale Beach, according to witnesses.

Witnesses told Local 10 News the driver of a black car appeared to be heading southbound on A1A around 7 p.m. with several police cars following close behind.

“All of a sudden I saw the cop cars on the horizon chasing, then I saw who they were chasing, this black car,” witness Chris Coletti said.

Witnesses said the driver then tried turning onto Hallandale Beach Boulevard while going the wrong direction.

“He made the turn going probably over 50 miles an hour, and the car didn’t turn,” Coletti said. “It jumped over the median and hit those cars.”

After the crash, witnesses said the driver jumped out of the car and ran into a nearby apartment building before later being arrested.

Despite the damage, witnesses said the people inside the other two cars appeared to be OK.

“Everyone walked away, everyone,” Coletti said. “Even the car that was landed on top of.”

This is a developing story, and will be updated as new information comes out.
