MIAMI – Police in Miami-Dade County are investigating a crash that involved an officer inside a police cruiser.
According to City of Miami police, undercover officers attempted to pull a vehicle over at the intersection of Northwest 13th Avenue and 61st Street just after 5:40 p.m. Tuesday.
The vehicle took off and collided with a marked City of Miami police vehicle and a second vehicle near the intersection of Northwest 10th Avenue and 58th Street, police said.
The driver and passenger in the vehicle that fled the traffic stop bailed out and ran off.
The officer inside the cruiser and the driver inside the second vehicle were both taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital by Miami Fire Rescue to be evaluated. Both are expected to be okay.
The driver and passenger who fled the scene were eventually located by detectives and taken into custody.
They were identified Wednesday as Trayvon Theodore, 20, and Stevon Black, 21.
Both face charges of carrying a concealed firearm. Black faces an additional charge of resisting an officer without violence and Theodore faces additional charges of driving with a suspended license and leaving the scene of a crash involving serious bodily injury.
According to his arrest report, Theodore was driving a black Mercedes-Benz C300 when an officer tried to pull over the car in the southbound lanes of Northwest 13th Avenue. Police said the car had dark tinted windows that made it impossible for the officer to see who was inside the car.
Police said the car also matched the description of the car used in an armed robbery that happened in the City of Miami.
According to the report, the officer tried to pull over the driver, but Theodore refused to stop the car.
After the crash, Theodore and Black took off and two handguns were found in the car -- one on the floorboard of the front passenger side and the other on the floorboard of the driver’s side, authorities said.
The officer and the other driver who was injured in the crash both suffered serious injuries, the arrest report stated.
Both suspects went before a Miami-Dade judge on Wednesday. Black bonded out of jail and was seen covering his face as he left.
Theodore remains behind bars. He was granted a bond of $25,000 that he has yet to post.
