MIAMI – Two people were injured after being hit by a car in Miami-Dade County.
It happened just before noon on Sunday near Northwest 17th Street and 8th Avenue in Miami.
Witnesses said the car struck a pole along with the two pedestrians.
“I see a car coming fast, an individual standing right here,” said witness David Ocana.
