Miami- Five injured in a police involved accident. Another example of how dangerous every day driving can be. While on a routine patrol, three undercover Miami Police Officers were struck by a pick up truck when it pulled out of a shopping center violating the right of way, causing a collision with the unmarked car.
The impact took place in the middle of North West 7th Avenue. Miami police immediately cornered off the scene to include shutting off North West 7th at Little River Drive.
"What upset everybody the most is that when the police arrived on the scene, they rushed to the police's aid instead of the victim's accident, and they were more injured, than the police officer's."
According to witnesses the two civilians that were in the truck had been ejected from the vehicle. "When we walked over, there were two people in the street, a lady and a guy that were badly injured. The guy's arm was hurt and the lady had a gash."
Two civilians and one officer are listed as trauma patients at the Jackson Memorial Hospital while an investigation is pending.
