MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – A distracted Uber driver who was texting ran over a police officer on Thursday evening in South Beach, police said. According to the Miami Beach Police Department, the officer was working on a narcotics-related investigation near the intersection of Collins Avenue and 14th Street.
