MIAMI – A 63-year-old man was taken to a hospital Wednesday afternoon after he was struck by a vehicle in Miami, authorities said.
The hit-and-run crash was reported shortly after 3 p.m. in the area of Northwest Seventh Avenue and 58th Street.

"I saw this black vehicle zoom through the intersection," witness Jeffrey Berry told Local 10 News reporter Christian De La Rosa. "The next thing I know, I heard a loud bang. And when I hear that, I sped up walking, and when I got there I was like, 'Wow, what just happened?'"
The driver was taken into custody a few blocks away and is being interviewed by detectives, authorities said.
The victim was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital. His condition has not been released.
