Police: Driver flees after crashing stolen car into home in North Miami

NORTH MIAMI, Fla. – North Miami police are investigating a hit-and-run crash that occurred early Tuesday morning.

The crash occurred just before 3 a.m. in the area of Northwest 13th Avenue and 125th Street.

According to North Miami police, a blue Dodge Charger crashed into an unoccupied bedroom, leaving a gaping hole behind.

But when police arrived, the driver was gone.

Officers later discovered that the car had been stolen two months ago in Broward County.

Neighbors told Local 10 News they were awakened by the sound of the crash.

“It was like 3 o’clock in the morning. I saw lights and I looked out my window and I didn’t see anything,” one man said. “I thought maybe it was a fire. I’m surprised it happened there because over on the corner they’re always doing the wheelies – you can see the marks on the street.”

Police are now searching for surveillance video from nearby homes.

Anyone with further information about the hit-and-run crash is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
