MIAMI (WSVN) – A rollover wreck in Miami sent four people to the hospital, including a pregnant woman, officials said.
City of Miami Fire Rescue units responded to reports of a traffic crash with trapped occupants at the intersection of Northwest 22nd Avenue and 26th Street, Wednesday night.
Upon arrival, crews found two vehicles involved in a crash with one of them flipped on its side.
Cellphone video showed good Samaritans helping deputies from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office rocking the flipped car back and forth in an attempt to get it back upright.
A man was also seen on the ground next to a deputy, though it’s unclear if he was being detained or just a witness to the crash.
The Miami Technical Rescue Team was called to cut through the vehicle and safely extricate the victims.
Still photos from Miami Fire Rescue showed the mangled vehicles after rescue crews pulled out all of the passengers.
Officials said a total of five adults were removed from the cars and evaluated. Four of them were transported to Ryder Trauma Center.
7News cameras captured one patient as they arrived at the hospital.
One female was in critical condition while the other three, including a pregnant woman, were in serious but stable condition.
A local area resident who saw the crash happen told 7News it started with a police pursuit that caused it.
“Yeah, no, it was definitely a police chase. Definitely a police chase,” the witness said.
He went on to say he hopes nobody in the crash was seriously hurt.
“Anytime you see them having to get the saw, they can’t pry it open themselves, it’s not a good look,” the witness said. “I was just hoping and praying that nobody got injured for real.”
Officials have reopened the roadway after they cleared debris and towed away the damaged vehicles.
MDSO is now investigating.
