Severe damage was left behind on two vehicles in Little Havana after a serious crash involving an Uber driver and another vehicle.
It happened Saturday along Southwest Sixth Avenue and Seventh Street in Miami.
Cellphone video captured the moments that Uber driver was standing outside her black car in shock.
That woman, who asked not to be identified while speaking to Local 10’s Roy Ramos, said her passenger grabbed her and began to sexually assault her as she was driving.
She described how the man randomly came up with different directions, but it’s when she turned down a dark street that she said he attacked her.
“In that moment, he covered my mouth and began to grope me and sexually assault me,” she told Ramos in Spanish while showing him severe bruising to her chest, scratches to her neck and scrapes to her mouth that were left behind in the alleged attack, which she said caused her to crash.
“In that moment, I panicked and lost control of the car and crashed,” she said.
The alleged victim crashed into another car, which hit the wall of a nearby church. The victim’s vehicle then barreled into the concrete wall of a storage facility.
Cellphone video shows the moment she said her passenger jumped out of her car and ran off.
City of Miami police said they responded to the wreck just before 2 a.m. Saturday and located the suspect a few blocks away and arrested him.
That suspect has been identified as OSA, 26.
He is facing charges that include battery and culpable negligence resulting in injuries.
Aguirre is now being held in jail on an immigration hold.
