Authorities are searching for a driver who hit three vehicles and then fled the scene, leaving three people hurt in Miami-Dade Thursday morning, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies said they responded just before 8:30 a.m. to the area of Northwest 79th Street and Northwest 6th Court for a traffic crash with injuries involving a driver who struck three other vehicles.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said that after the crashes, the adult male driver ran away on foot, “leaving the crashed vehicle behind.” No information about that driver was immediately available.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue took two women and one man from the other vehicles to a local hospital, where they were in stable condition, authorities said.
In a post on X, Miami Police said Northwest 79th Street was closed from Northwest 5th to 7th Avenue to both eastbound and westbound traffic for the active police investigation.
Drivers are asked to avoid the area.
