A police cruiser was struck by fireworks during an overnight intersection takeover that wreaked havoc in Miami Gardens, witnesses said.
Video posted online by Only in Dade captured the moment things spun out of control at Northeast Second Court and Miami Gardens Drive, early Saturday morning.
A witness who identified himself as G described the spiraling chaos.
“They were just having fun, turning back and forth, back and forth, doing that thing,” he said. “When the police came, [an officer] was like, ‘They weren’t doing what they were supposed to do.”
Miami Gardens Police officers arrived to find some drivers performing some illegal maneuvers.
“Somebody was doing donuts. The police officer was just backing up, backing up, till he gets here, and he just hit the car,” said G, “so, after he hit the car, he just left.”
According to detectives, several vehicles aggressively drove toward a Miami Gardens Police cruiser and lit fireworks, just after 3:45 a.m.
Witnesses said that when police arrived, the drivers taking part in the takeover took off.
“We were waiting right here. The cops were trying to catch them, but they didn’t catch them,” said D B.
Witnesses said the subjects’ vehicle, a black Jeep, fled the area with four people wearing ski masks.
One damaged vehicle was left on the scene after it struck the police car and was towed.
No one was hurt, but police are still looking for these motorists. They urge anyone with information to contact Miami Gardens Police at 305-474-6473.
