Miami Beach spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez tells news outlets the patrol vehicle sheared the hood off the woman’s car late Monday. The woman wasn’t involved in the chase.
Rodriguez says the officer remains in stable condition with a head injury.
The incident began around 11 p.m. when a blue BMW was stolen near 74th Street and Collins Avenue while the owner was inside a store. Rodriguez says the officer spotted the stolen car a short time later. The driver didn’t stop and a chase started.
Rodriguez says the chase ended two blocks away when the officer crashed into the woman’s car. Other officers followed the BMW and the driver later rammed into two patrol vehicles and fled on foot.
Hopefully they’ll catch the car thief and charge him with murder.
Was this car chase really worth it?
To #1 - What about the cop who caused the death, with his reckless high speed chase? There comes a point, where these high speed chases have to end. It is better to let a car thief go, than to recklessly cause death and injury to innocent civilians. Incidentally, has everyone noticed how overweight that cop is in the photo, with his bug tuchas and pippick? Doesn’t the Miami Beach PD have physical fitness standards?
